Features: The Selected Ensemble Pieces for Chinese Folk Orchestras includes outstanding works for folk orchestras by renowned composers from China and abroad. These pieces are among the most popular selections performed by professional and amateur folk ensembles in recent years. Although various reasons have prevented the collection from including even more excellent works, the pieces compiled here still largely reflect the creative achievements of folk orchestra compositions in recent years. The publication of ensemble pieces in such a concentrated, series-based, and multi-author format is a first in several years. The purpose of attempting this is to promote the development and research of folk ensemble pieces. The publication of this collection has been enthusiastically supported by many composers from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and overseas, to whom we express our heartfelt gratitude. This collection, published in five-line notation, features diverse genres, rich content, varied techniques, and a range of difficulty levels, including pieces suitable for professional folk ensembles as well as those for amateur ensembles in primary, secondary, and university settings. The Selected Ensemble Pieces for Chinese Folk Orchestras is divided into five volumes, with six to seven pieces per volume, totaling thirty-three pieces. We sincerely hope experts and readers will provide valuable feedback.
