Features: The Selected Collection of Chinese Folk Music Ensemble Pieces includes outstanding works for folk music ensembles by renowned composers from China and abroad. These pieces are among the most popular selections performed by professional and amateur folk music ensembles in recent years. Although various reasons prevented the collection from including even more excellent works, the pieces selected do largely reflect the creative achievements of folk music ensemble compositions in recent years. The publication of a collection of folk music ensemble pieces in this 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 music ensemble pieces through this collection. The publication of this collection has been enthusiastically supported by many composers from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas, and we express our heartfelt gratitude to them. This collection, published in five-line notation, features diverse genres, rich content, varying techniques, and a range of difficulty levels, including pieces suitable for professional folk music ensembles as well as those for amateur ensembles in primary, middle, and high schools. The Selected Collection of Chinese Folk Music Ensemble Pieces is divided into five volumes, with six to seven pieces per volume, totaling thirty-three pieces. We sincerely hope that experts and readers will provide valuable feedback.
