The audience will learn the Chinese folk song 鳳陽花鼓
(Fèng
yáng huāgǔ or Flower Drum Song) and join Glorystar Children's
Chorus in a festive sing-along. For

The Program features 快樂的聚會-Kuàilè de jùhuì (HAPPY REUNION) – Aboriginal Taiwanese, arranged by Chuang-Sheng Lu. You can still hear this song in Taiwan's mountains when the Shaio Tribe makes the sweet rice cake during the harvest festival. Ms. Jeng worked closely with Chuang-Sheng Lu at the Rong-Shing Children’s Chorus in Taiwan, and is her honor to bring this music to the DC area. The audience will learn the Chinese Folk Song 鳳陽花鼓-Fèng yáng huāgǔ (FLOWER DRUM SONG), while the Glorystar children imitate the lively and complicated rhythm of the drums. Pinyin phonetics will be provided for pronunciation.
