A bestseller in a new voicing! This stunning arrangement of the popular Korean folk song speaks of Ahrirang Hill outside of Seoul, a location believed to be a symbol of personal contentment and triumph. Capturing the style of Korean music, which is highly personal and tender with sentiments of love and peace, this arrangement also illustrates the contrast between Korean and Western music, with the middle section purposely crafted using common Western chords and harmonies. The canonic nature of the modal melody presents an excellent opportunity to develop independent part singing.

Children in South Korea used to sing this song while chasing dragonflies, in hopes that a dragonfly would freeze in place to make it easier to catch.
