Jamjari Kkongkkong is a Korean traditional children's song based on nature. Jamjari means dragonfly and kkongkkong is an expression that represents to freeze/stop in place. 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. This arrangement begins with the original folk song (mm. 3-6), then continues with a modified version of the melody. |
