Poem by Li Hou-Zhu (937-978)
Walking up to the Western pavilion.
The moon is as a fading hook...
The Lonesome Wutong tree,
In the deep courtyard,
Enclosed with dismal Autumn.
Unbreakable; yet, impossible to sort,
Is this sorrow of leaving...
Deepening in my heart,
An unspeakable feeling...
No matter how many times I listen, this piece never gets old.

truly a beautiful fusion of eastern and western ideas, with neat interplay between the jazzier harmonies and the more coloristic ones.
