A live performance by Red Chamber. This is an arrangement by Yang Qing 楊青 of one of the 25 ancient pipa scores found in the Dun Huang mural caves in northwestern China, on the ancient Silk Road. This score was written in 930 AD and believed to be court music from the Tang Dynasty (618-907). The title is a cipai 詞牌 (named tune) found in Chinese classical poetry.
my absolute new favorite, when i heard an excerpt of this in your "China Long Song" radio lecture, i couldn't stop dreaming its beautiful tones, so inspiring and motivating -- beautiful performance everyone !! <3 Vi An.
