Impressions of Chinese Opera (I. Chang he Zuo) by Gene Koshinski

This is the first of a three-movement work called "Impressions of Chinese Opera" by Gene Koshinski. This movement "Chang he Zuo," means "Singing and Dancing." 'Impressions' was inspired by my study of traditional Chinese percussion music and Beijing opera. The goal of this work was not to represent Chinese Opera, but rather to create a hybrid sound, a true merging of "East" and "West."
