about

Kailin Yong, a cross-cultural violinist, dedicated the writing of this piece to The Rooster’s Wife, a concert series in Aberdeen, NC. Inspired by the Cajun fiddling tradition, the piece is marked by “swampy and pulsating grooves.” And, if you listen carefully, you can hear the squawking and scratching of chicken feet in the second melodic section.

Sphere’s rendition of The Rooster’s Wife appeared on our first “shuffle” concert. Simulating an mp3 player in shuffle mode, the concert was the first time that we incorporated non-classical elements into a concert. The high energy piece quickly became an audience favorite and has become a staple of Sphere’s repertoire.
