The Korean word \u201carirang\u201d means literally rolling hills, and the song relates the story of a man who is forced to leave his significant other, despite her persistent pleas to accompany him. Chance overheard \u201cArirang\u201d while riding a public bus in Korea and later incorporated it into his work,<em>Variations on a Korean Folk Song<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Variations on a Korean Folk Song<\/em>\u00a0is comprised of a theme and five distinct variations. Though the theme is of Eastern origin, Chance maintains a traditional Western tonal function based on triadic harmony and a pentatonic melody. Formal techniques used in the piece are canon, inversion, imitation, augmentation, ostinato, and polymeter. Chance maintains the theme\u2019s Eastern influence by featuring distinct percussive instruments like gong, temple blocks, cymbals, timpani, vibraphone, and triangle. In 1966,\u00a0<em>Variations on a Korean Folk Song<\/em>\u00a0was awarded the American Bandmaster\u2019s Association\u2019s Ostwald Composition Award and the piece remains a standard of band repertoire today.<\/p>\n<p>Quelle:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/windliterature.org\/2011\/09\/23\/variations-on-a-korean-folk-song-by-john-barnes-chance\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/windliterature.org\/2011\/09\/23\/variations-on-a-korean-folk-song-by-john-barnes-chance\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Die <em>Variations on a Korean Folk Song<\/em>\u00a0von John Barnes Chance\u00a0sind\u00a0heute quasi zum Standardrepertoire f\u00fcr Sinfonische Blasorchester geworden und wird auch noch immer gerne und oft gespielt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>F\u00fcr Kenner und Liebhaber der Sinfonischen Blasmusik f\u00fchrt wohl kein Weg an John Barnes Chance vorbei.
