Chinese Folk Songs is the result of collaboration between two of Theodore Presser Company's most prolific composers. It was commissioned and premiered by the Cornell University Chorus and Glee Club, March 16, 2008 in Beijing, China. Chen Yi sets the love song "The Flowing Stream" for women's chorus, and Steven Stucky sets the work song "The Sun Is Rising with Our Joy" for men's chorus. In the final section, both songs are interwoven and overlapped with full mixed chorus. For advanced choirs.
