Dancing Moon Fall 2011 tour 月舞

Orchid Ensemble's 2011 US tour.
music composed by Lan Tung
Orchid Ensemble - Lan Tung (erhu & vocal), Yu-Chen Wang (zheng), Jonathan Bernard (percussion);

The fast 5/4 melody is inspired by a folk song from south west China. To contrast with its constant motion, a number of gestures for improvisation are inserted, taking inspiration from a Chinese classical poem praising the moon hanging high over the mountains. The piece ends in a fast 9 beat cycle and a series of modulations, inspired by Balkan music.

This piece can be heard on the Orchid Ensemble's 2012 CD "Life Death Tears Dream".

蘭韻中樂團成立于1997年，成員為二胡演奏家董籃（加拿大/台灣），箏演奏家王于真 (美國/台灣)， 打擊樂演奏家 Jonathan Bernard（加拿大）。樂團獨特的樂器組合，以古典與現代結合，曲目豐富多樣並不斷創新，跨越中國傳統及現代風格、包含結合西洋作曲法及東方藝術思維的原創樂曲，並嘗­­­試世界音樂、爵士樂及即興演奏。溫哥華The Georgia Straight 週報曾形容蘭韻中樂團是"世界音樂的百花中，綻放得最明麗的奇葩之一"。
