Jasmine Bouquet - Ron Miller (2008) -- approx. 6 min.

Jasmine Bouquet is a short piece based on the Chinese folk song "Jasmine Flower" (moli hua) .  The melody of the folk song is presented, followed by a fast, rhythmic variation, and a slower, more lyrical variation.  The folk song melody then returns.
English Horn has solo passages. This piece is relatively easy, and should be accessible to middle school or high school orchestras.
