New Song of Four Seasons

Sori Soeun (Musically gifted children)

Woo Tae Min, Jang Yu Ju, Jung Ha Yoon, Jung Chae Bin, Jang Eun Chae, Lee Jung Min, Jung Hae Ryul

With the theme of a Southern folk song, “Four Seasons,” the artist sings about spring in Gutgury rhythm, summer in Semachi rhythm, and fall and winter in Jajinmori rhythm. The performance is fun and exciting, with songs and dances that express four seasons. Young Korean classical musician group Sori Soeun performs various types of songs, from Korean classical music and folk songs to new compositions with dance performances.

Tiger is Coming

Sori Soeun (Musically gifted children)

Woo Tae Min, Jung Ha Yoon, Jung Ha Yoon, Jung Chae Bin, Lee Jung Min, Ji Ro A

The turtle wants to go out to the world to find rabbit liver for the sick Dragon King. But he doesn’t know what a rabbit looks like, so he has a painter draw an image of a rabbit. “Image of Rabbit” from pansori Sugungga connects this particular scene to “Tiger in Coming,” where the turtle mistakenly thinks a tiger is a rabbit.

Sword Dance

Chumbit Dance Company (Musically gifted children)

Heo Ji Hyun, Chae Ga In, Kim Bo Ram, Jo Jae Hee, Park Seo Hyun, Jin Lee

Sward dance originates from young monks dancing with swords in both hands in the Silla Dynasty, and then the dance changed into gisaengs dance in the late Joseon Dynasty. But during the Japanese invasion, Admiral Yi Sun-sin made them perform the dance with the victory dance for the morale support for the officers and men. The performance is introverted, well organized, and features delicate dance routines. Also, the instruments play traditional ballad tones. Chumbit Dance Company is founded for the future Korean traditional classical music artists to learn our traditional culture and music, to learn teamwork from performing with friends, and to become the light of the world by learning about volunteer work and manners.

“Float the Boat” is an original composition and was officially announced in the book “Float the Boat” written by songwriter Park Beom Hun and published by Gugak Chunchu Publisher. The song is about sending hope on the boat, which symbolizes our country. The beginning part of the song describes the boat sailing forward over great waves with the bouncy tune.

It’s an essential music piece representing Korean creative music in the 1980s.
