"Arirang Fantasy" (Korean: «아리랑 환상곡»), originally titled "Arirang" (Korean: «아리랑»),[2] is a 1976 modern classical composition for orchestra by the North Korean composer Choi Sung-hwan, who died in 1981.[3] It based on the Korean folk song "Arirang",[4][5][6] specifically the "Bonjo Arirang" arrangement, which is the most popular and well-known of all the "Arirang" variations,[7][8][9] thanks to its popularization in the 1926 film Arirang.
History[edit]
In 1978, "Arirang Fantasy" was played in Japan by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, marking the first time the piece was performed in Japan.[10]
In 2008, the New York Philharmonic visited North Korea and conducted by Lorin Maazel played a slightly-modified arrangement of the piece before a live audience at the East Pyongyang Grand Theatre.[11][12][13][14][15]
