《娟川古韻》是為大型民族管絃樂隊與合唱隊而做的民族器樂曲，樂曲題材源於河北延慶一帶的蝟川文化遺跡、歷史傳說及古代神話等。全曲共由三個樂章組成：
I、媦河神女：「媦」為舜的女兒，「媦河」據說就是她變的。音樂以蕭為主奏樂器，樂隊以色彩清新的和聲，淡雅、飄逸的配器加以襯托，女聲合唱的進入將聽眾帶入另一番天地。音樂既神秘又略帶輕愁。
II、古崖民居：以千古之謎的古崖居為中心開展想像。主題設計力求簡潔，只用三個音，在四度以內。追求的是原始、古樸的性格。全曲以圍繞了主題進行變奏與發展，抽象而概括性地想像當年古崖居民的生活場景。
III、阪泉金鼓：取材於炎黃阪泉大戰這樣一個古代神話。樂隊主要以打擊樂器為主，突出節奏的表現力，並加入人聲的吶喊，音樂追求原始古樸、且厚重莊嚴，亦不乏激烈的、氣勢恢弘的征戰場面的描繪。
