    A Chinese friend of mine played The Dance of the Yao People on the guzheng (Chinese zither) for me in 2005, and I was instantly smitten with the piece. When years later Dr. Ken Narducci asked me to write a piece for percussion ensemble for a Directed Study in Composition I took from him, I decided to treat this classical Chinese composition to a funky jazz arrangement. (Click on the link below to hear the piece.)
