Experience the joy and spirit of reunion with family and friends. This string orchestra piece uses playful pizzicato and subtle syncopation to portray the cheerful mood and sparkling lights of Chinese New Year festivities. The happy melody is shared across the sections of the orchestra, like smiles at the traditional family dinner. Legato melodies with sustained chords shine like lanterns in the night, shimmering with warm memories and hope for a bright future to come.
Celebrated by billions of people around the world, Chinese New Year is the biggest festival of the Chinese community. Every year around this time, we see massive crowds gathering at bus and train stations, eagerly waiting to embark on their journey home. For the children, it’s the most fun time of the year filled with fireworks, gifts and joy. But the older I grew, the more I realized, that the sweetest moment of joy comes when I sit at the dinner table with my mom, my dad, and my grandma.
