Prairie Tune

Inner Mongolian Folk Song

The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which shares its northern border with the Republic of Mongolia and Russia, is China's third largest province. This popular folk song describes dawn and dusk in this land of vast grasslands-- blue skies, white clouds, gentle breezes, and a flock of sheep that look like silver spilled on the prairie. Solos for violin and cello offer the perfect opportunity to feature and challenge your star players.
