This composition is based on the ancient tune of the Thao Tribe in South Central Taiwan. The program’s repertoire is varied in style and composers: from Mozart – Un moto di gioia, Verdi – Va Pensiero, and Puccini – O Mio Babbino Caro; to Fauré – Cantique de Jean Racine, Piazzolla – Libertango, Caldwell – I am so Glad, and Tesori – Thoroughly Modern Millie.
