Xinjiang Fantasia – Songs and Dances under Western Skies
新疆民歌幻想曲:西天焰梦
Xinjiang Fantasia weaves together six traditional folk songs from northwest China, tracing a journey through landscapes of grasslands, village life, youthful love, and quiet longing. From the charm of “The Girl from Dabancheng” to the festive spirit of “Give Me a Rose”, each melody reveals a different facet of Xinjiang’s cultural life.
Written for two erhus, viola, and cello, the work explores a rich palette of sound—blending singing lines with sliding tones, flexible vibrato, pizzicato, and percussive effects that evoke drums, horse riding, and even quasi-pipa textures.
