四川地震疮痍满目，

“罗声合唱团”献《梁祝》，

悲心赈灾予乐拔苦，

人间大爱鼓掌欢呼。

Butterfly Lovers 梁祝 (part 1)

[agoradoll71]

Thought this was very entertaining and couldn't wait to show it to my husband who was the first in his family to not have an arranged marriage.  He speaks a different dialect & had to read the lyrics along with me.

beautiful

[PaulBartonPiano]

One of the most beautiful pieces of music I have heard in a long time. I loved the flute mixed with the beautiful part singing. So glad to listen to this here in Asia. Magical ahhh!!!

[ccsrmusic]

@PaulBartonPiano

Thanks for watching! So glad that you enjoy it!

We had to split the song into two videos due to YouTube's 10 minutes limit. Please see the video response for part 2 of the song.

[TheElectricTurtle]

The choral work is magnificent... (soloist gets on my nerves though) but a flute and not a dizi?!? A violin and not an erhu?!? A piano and not a guzheng?!? Travesty! You might as well sing it in English at such a point.

[ccsrmusic]

@TheElectricTurtle

Thanks for watching! The original choral music of this piece was written for chorus with piano accompaniment.

It will be interesting to hear this piece accompanied by dizi, erhu or guzheng. If you know someone who has the talent of playing these Chinese instruments and might be able to perform with us, please let us know.

请问词是谁填的？

[pianogirl98]

梁祝合唱曲由鹤梅词， 胡增荣编合唱， 张军配伴奏。

[soulglow8]

Please post the complete Chinese lyrics. (Can I get them from a free website?) It's the 1st time I hear this song performed by a choir. Fantastic!

Thank you so much for sharing this!!

[ccsrmusic]

Hi soulglow8, thanks for watching! Please send me your email address and I will scan the lyrics and email it to you.

[jieyu88]

难得听到这类的梁祝。。挺不错的。。

[akwong96]

太好了..第一次聽到唱的梁祝版本

[bingliusong]

Awesome version!

[asianjeannie]

Does anyone know where I can get the sheet music for this? (violin)

And.. what about pinyin lyrics?

[ThelandIIove]

Very nice, this is the first time I see choral version of Butterfly Lovers. Thank you.

[Lemaryo]

This video was so good !! Congratulations !

I enjoyed listen to that !

[theatom2000]

Very beautiful song, nice moment for me.

[pianoboypiano]

I think I've heard this story before.

[ellandelachapelle]

Just wonderful! For poetry-lovers: read the poem "Streets in Shanghai" by Tomas Tranströmer! (from 1989.)(translated into English and Chinese.) It begins:

The white butterfly in the park is being read by many.

I love this butterfly as if it was a fluttering sheet of truth itself!

(my own translation.)(the authorized one may differ a little.)

[blueyoyi]

I don't understand a single word yet the whole song is not unfamiliar ... it sounds very similar to many songs in tribute to the proletarian chinese masses and chairman Mao in the 70's. NICE!!! Brings back memories!!! the tune that is.

[pianogirl98]

Hi Steve(blueyoyi), thanks for watching! The song is about a tale of a love story. You haven't lived in China, have you?

[karlng888]

Very good! Some Chinese classics! My parents have heard them before too :)

I did some earthquake appeal fund raising today too in my city centre just outside the City Hall. I raised about £200 from the passing public in a matter of 3 hours. All now given to the local Chinese Society.

For those who have not donated yet please do so asap and enjoy my piano videos too if it helps.

[edithforrest]
