Product Details


Product Description

The melody for Tián Mì Mì is taken from an Indonesia folk song, Dayung Sampan, which became popular across East Asia during the late 1700s. In the early 1900s, the melody was given Chinese lyrics written by the famed poet and song writer, Zhuang Nu. This version is now recognized across China as one of the most beloved folk songs in Chinese culture. This choral arrangement uses a slower tempo than what some may be used to so that the lush harmonies may be experienced more sumptuously. The third verse allows for all the voice parts, besides the soprano, a chance to sing the melody while the accompanying parts dance around using syncopated rhythms. The last section returns to verses one and two and ends softly with "a zài mèng li" (Oh, in a dream). A thorough IPA pronunciation guide is also included.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
