Jamjari Kkongkkong

This is a traditional Korean children's song based on nature. Jamjari means "dragonfly" and kkongkkong is an expression that means "to freeze, to stop in place." Children in South Korea would sing this song while chasing dragonflies, in hopes that a dragonfly would freeze in place to make it easier to catch. This arrangement begins with the original folk song, then continues with a modified version of the melody. Fun for advanced ensembles!
