Yellow River Cantata - Current Arrangement

Current Arrangement

The current arrangement of the Yellow River Cantata contains eight movements. However, most performances only use seven, omitting the fourth. The cantata is meant to be performed by a full Western orchestra with some Chinese instruments, and a full SATB choir. Soloists include a bass in the second movement, a tenor and baritone in the fifth, and a soprano in the sixth. There is also a male speaker, who recites various political exhortations at the beginning of each movement.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or arrangement:

    If the current is right, one can drift to success.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    There is no reason why parents who work hard at a job to support a family, who nurture children during the hours at home, and who have searched for and selected the best [daycare] arrangement possible for their children need to feel anxious and guilty. It almost seems as if our culture wants parents to experience these negative feelings.
    Gwen Morgan (20th century)
