The Grand Phoenix Worship 百鸟朝凤 | Piano 钢琴
By 陈若旭 Ruoxu Chen

百鸟朝凤原是一首唢呐演奏的民间乐曲，流行于山东，河南，河北等地。它运用了许多模拟的手法，以热情欢快的旋律与百鸟和鸣之声，表现出想象中群鸟齐鸣朝拜凤凰的热闹场景。­钢琴曲百鸟朝凤对于原曲调来说，是一种全新的创作；钢琴有宽广的音域，节奏能变化自如，和声织体丰富多彩，能够创造出更加艺术化 的鸟鸣图。
This piece is transcribed from a Chinese folk song popular in Shandong, Henan, and Hebei provinces. Originally it was played by a traditional Chinese oboe named Suona, which can vividly emulate the birds sound. It employs cheerful melodies and birds-singing imitation to depict a celebratory picture of hundreds of birds worshipping the phoenix, which is a mythical sacred bird and king of the birds kingdom in Chinese legend. The piano arrangement of this folk song is very innovative, because the piano has a very wide range of sonority and a tremendous capacity for rhythmic and harmonic variability, creating an artistic birds-singing picture.
