"Arirang" is perhaps the most well-known Korean folk song, and has been called the anthem of Korea. There are numerous versions of "Arirang," and this arrangement is principally based on 'Bonjo Arirang' (Standard Arirang). Other Korean folk songs are utilised as extra melodic material and counter-melodies, and have been labelled when they are first introduced.
Metronome marks have been provided only as guides. Tempos are flexible depending on the decay of a particular carillon. All trills should be played starting slowly and gradually accelerating, and all ornamentation played before the beat.
