About the Score

The melody for Tián Mì Mì is taken from an Indonesia folk song, Dayung Sampan, which became popular across East Asia during the late 1700’s. 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). The score contains a thorough IPA pronunciation guide.
