Dreams of a Peregrinator

for Percussion, Piano and Strings

Quoted by Kaigal-ool Khovalyg, from a ballad sung by Tuvan expatriates.

Where are the sixty horses in my herd ？

Where is the“aal”(settlement) of my tribe ？

Where is the hitching post where I can tie my horse ？

Where are the seven“kojuun”(regions) of my homeland ？
