    Cottonfield Calls And Praising Song By Stephen Chin

    Hand-picking cotton is known to be one of the most gruelling and physically demanding tasks humans can undertake. In the rural America of the 19th century, the labourers would sing across the field to support each other and make the task seem less daunting. The opening notes of this particular piece of music are played by a different musician in each bar, creating the feeling of a group of people working together in harmony. As the music progresses into the "Praising Song," one can almost hear the jubilant celebration of the end of a long and arduous day, with the workers singing, clapping, and stamping their feet in unison. The performance of this piece requires a high level of skill, with the elementary ensemble being called upon to execute difficult musical techniques such as double quavers, pizzicati, and syncopated beats, resulting in a truly sparkling and captivating performance.
