La Li Ley

A nod to two Malay folksongs, this a cappella treble piece uses vocable text inspired by a portion of Canggung and a main theme inspired by the opening motif of Mak Inang. This work features exciting vocal play merged with folkloric elements – quartal harmonies, dance-like rhythms, and shifting tonalities – that are spun through a contemporary lens. A lively and joyful selection for concerts, contests, and festivals!
