“Ja-Jang-Ga (Lullaby)”for cello and piano is based on traditional Korean folk songs. The first lullaby’sthematic material is from “Se-ya, Se-ya, Pa-rang-seya,” follow by the second lullaby, “A-ri-rang.” The calm melody and sonority in the low cello voice recollects Korean grandmothers’ lullabies for generations.
