Wu Kui
Zhou Long
About this work: (Published by Oxford University Press)
Wu Kui is a folk dance from northeast China. Wearing the masks of five animals
(tiger, leopard, bear, deer, and roe deer), the dancers, usually hunters themselves, express their joy in work and life. Capturing the original style of this dance, this solo piano piece opens with animated rhythmic patterns, moves into a slower, free-flowing and lyrical middle section, and concludes with a return to the fierce exultant rhythms and motifs of the beginning.
This score is for sale.
