One of the things that I've done as a music educator from my beginnings of middle school band director, I always commissioned a lot of pieces. This piece wasn't commissioned by us but I've worked with this composer. But I also realized that my students needed to see the world beyond their communities and this piece allows them to engage with folk songs of another country and what those mean to that culture that they can take back to their own communities and begin to maybe think about the opportunities that lie for them to learn so much about humanity through music in from countries that they've never maybe even heard of.
