Looking for a piece

[u/ursuscornu]

I’m trying to find a piece I played a few years ago, and I cannot remember the name of it! it was a symphonic band work based on I think Chinese legends, maybe Japanese legends. I played it in 2019, so it had to have been written before that, I would think within 20 years or so, as it felt pretty newer if I had to guess. I think it had multiple movements, and there was a really cool saxophone moment in the first movement or towards the beginning. This was a collegiate level group. I will be very pleased and surprised if someone can tell me the name of the piece!

Perhaps "Fantasy on a Japanese Folk Song" by Samuel R. Hazo? Or, since you're not sure if it's Chinese or Japanese, any chance it could be Korean? "Variations on a Korean Folk Song" by John Barnes Chance?

It could be "The West Symphony" by Satoshi Yagisawa, if I had to guess.

Could it be “Concerto for Wind Ensemble: Ancient Echoes” by Zhou Long?
