Commissioned by Osaka College of Music. The composer utilized several traditional Korean rhythms called Chirche Chandan. The first movement, Preludio is a type of marching overture. The second movement, Passacaglia, a fantasy and variation, passes the traditional tune Birds and Moon from one section/instrument to the other 14 times. The third movement, Rondo-Finale, uses the form of Chirche Chandan freely and restructures the style of the music. Chirche Chandan is one of the most unique and complex rhythm styles in the Korean Peninsula as it is very appealing and attractive to the natives. I hope this literature opens a door for many and presents a chance to get to know Chirche Chandane.
