箜篌演奏-湘妃竹 Konghou (chinese harp) performance

箜篌青年演奏家劉雅寧演奏經典箜篌曲目-湘妃竹
The young konghou(chinese harp) musician plays classical konghou melody XiangFeiZhu (XiangFei Bamboo, the bamboo born from tears of Princesses of Xiang place).
It's an acient folktale of Xia Dynasty in china. The Emperor Yao was getting old. He determined to retire and demise his sceptre to Shun. He also espoused her two daughters Ehuang and Nuying to him.
In that Age, there were nine dragons in Xiang place.They're doing all the evils to make the world in a mess. The demised Emperor Shun decided to pacify them.
After a long time waiting for Shun's coming back, Ehuang and Nuying felt something wrong and made a decision to looking for him.
Finally they found Shun. He had won and killed the dragons. But sorrowfully he had become a tomb. Ehuang and Nuying were so sad and cried until the blood fell. Eventually they lay aside Shun's tomb and died.
Their tears spattered on the bamboo and became the spots allover the bamboo. It is the folktale of the origin of XingFei Bamboo.

If I would like to learn this instrument how can I do?

[doracatdodo]

@sankky091242716 KongHou is not a commonly seen instrument in China. Rare people know about it and even difficult to know how to play it. If you would like to learn to play it, you could start from a harp and a Guzheng.

what is this exact piece called?

[doracatdodo]

It's called XiangFeiZhu (Bamboo from the Princess of Xiang place)

我看了很想学，这里有老师。可是认识或弹箜篌的人很少，大多数是­学古筝。现代的箜篌跟古代的不一样。

不知道值得吗？还是学古筝比较好？我也是很喜欢古筝。

其實 買的到箜篌譜 可以找豎琴的老師敎 基本指法跟豎琴是完全相同的 跟豎琴差別在於按放吟揉的中國風味 但是 通常豎琴老師抓不到中國音樂的韻味 因為 豎琴沒有按放音 其實建議你先學古箏 畢竟師資很普遍 等到掌握了古箏的韻味跟技巧後 再轉箜篌 幫助會比較大 不過 就曲子的多樣性來說 學古箏路會比較寬廣 看你的抉擇吧

its not like she's playing it...more like she is weaving the music with her hands...

[saywizard]

dope..samples galore..i can listen to this all day... when she bends the notes it sends chills to the soul..anyone else?>

That is not what Konghou looks like in old paintings. This looks more like a Western harp.

@doracatdodo Hi! Does anyone know where I could purchase a Konghou? I'm a harpist based in the U.S. (I'd prefer one with pedals)

[diakeng]
