| Notes | The humorous character of That Old Woman for 25 string kayageum and bass koto came from Cold Mountain’s poem. [Na] An old lady who lives to the east got rich a few years ago before poorer than me She now mocks my poverty She laughs that I’m behind I laugh that she’s ahead It seems we can’t stop laughing from the east and from the west This piece was composed with the support of the Zellerbach Family Foundation and the San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music. |
