Moonlight Kung Fu

Two very popular Chinese folk songs, "Wu Shu" (Kung-Fu) and "Colourful Clouds chasing the Moon," are employed in this arrangement to create a contrast of energetic and romantic moods. These two folk tunes are most descriptive by themselves but a new title was created to bring a more unique understanding of the work - "Yue Ye Xi Wu" (Kung-Fu practising under the moonlight). The arrangement is set in a simple A-B-A (fast-slow-fast) form.
