Description:
Jamjari Kkongkkong' is a Korean traditional children's song based on nature. Jamjari means 'dragonfly' and kkongkkong is an expression that represents 'to freeze/stop in place.' Children in South Korea used to sing this song while chasing dragonflies, in hopes that a dragonfly would freeze in place to make it easier to catch. This arrangement begins with the original folk song (mm. 3-6), then continues with a modified version of the melody.
