Happy Tune Violin and Viola

Violin, Viola Chen Yi describes the cheery interplay of HAPPY TUNE as: When one instrument plays a lively melody, the other plays a vivid rhythmic pattern in the accompaniment. The pair of string instruments imitates the sound of Chinese folk song singing, as well as the Chinese traditional windinstrument sheng, a mouth pipe organ." Published as a shared score and extracted parts, and written as a celebration piece honoring the 25th anniversary of the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival.
