Uhelssigu Taryeng [level: Difficult]
Jinsil Lee | Jo-Michael Scheibe Choral Series

RELEASED: August 2025

voicing: SATB | catalog number: SBMP 1840 | duration: c. 2'36" | price: $3.00
accompaniment: piano

An energetic choral work for advanced mixed ensembles with piano, inspired by Taryung—a traditional Korean folk art characterized by rhythmic refrains and colloquial language. Originally performed by itinerant musicians at village festivals, Taryung includes exclamatory refrains such as “Uelssigu” and “Aehediya” that enrich the rhythm and atmosphere without conveying specific meaning. The composer weaves these repetitive rhythmic motifs into a dynamic interplay of voices, culminating in a powerful climactic finish. Challenging and unique!
