for solo cello Conceived as a set, these eight songs are drawn from
several Chinese regions (Shaanbei, Shaanxi, Yunnan, Jiangsu,
Sichuan, Hunan, and Shanxi) and represent the three main genres of
mountain song, work song, and the more structured performance song
aimed at professional singers. In this new arrangement for solo
cello the music has been carefully refashioned for Western
instruments, with writing that includes stylistic bowing and
fingering to match the original style. Suitable for students at
early to intermediate level, these compelling short pieces are
accompanied by illuminating programme notes with a synoposis of
each song.
This engaging work was composed in 1929 and premiered the following

and 'I've been to France'. This arrangement for solo viola and
orchestra is compatible with the original orchestral accompaniment,
materials for which are available on hire.
