Cooing and Wooing
This is the first poem in The Book of Songs, China's first collection of poetry that compiled 311 poetic songs from the 11th to the 6th century BC, and is considered a love song. In the first verse, birds sing toward each other, which evokes the loving sentiment between a pair of young lovers. The Book of Songs records the songs of the ancestors; about social and daily life, marriage and love, banquets, and war. It is a window to trace the origin of Chinese ritual and music civilization. At one time in the past, Chinese poems were set to music. The score used for today’s concert is preserved in The Wei’s Music Score, which was collected in the 1600s and published in 1768. Scholars believe that the collection includes music composed before the Chinese Song dynasty (960-1279) and had been handed down from generation to generation.
This performance was on April 20, 2024, for the Chinese Embassy.

GRAND UNITY 天下大同 - traditional Shandong zheng music
zhlédnutí 300Před rokem
Grand Unity 天下大同 is a traditional composition created upon the baban or eight-beats. It adopted the vocal style of qinshu, a narrative song of Shandong in Northern China; and the style is reflected through the left-hand bending strings on the zheng, a multiple-stringed long zither. The title suggests that the eight-beats was so well known that it unified the universe.

Traversing the Ancient Pass was composed by He Huang in 1997. Traveling the ancient Silk Road was arduous, and almost every step echoes the experiences of those who had traveled before.

南宋格律派词作的巅峰
"Guan Ju" (Shuang Diao)《关雎（双调）》("Cry of the Ospreys" in Shuang mode), with text from the "Shi Jing"《诗经》(whose title is translated variously as the Book of Songs, Classic of Poetry, or Book of Odes) This piece is found in the "Weishi Yuepu"《魏氏乐谱》, an important collection of Chinese palace entertainment pieces compiled by Wei Hao (魏浩, courtesy name Wei Ziming, 魏子明), a music scholar of Chinese heritage, in Nagasaki, Japan in 1768, during the Edo (Tokugawa) period, which was also the 33rd year of the reign of the Qing Dynasty emperor Qianlong. This music is believed to have been in use in the imperial court in Beijing in the late Ming Dynasty (early 17th century). The "Weishi Yuepu" collection comprises 50 tunes that include vocal pieces with texts from the "Shi Jing" (Confucian "Classic of Poetry") and Han Dynasty _yuefu_ (汉乐府), as well as poems from the Tang and Song dynasties. These tunes were originally in the possession of Wei Shuanghou (魏双侯, courtesy name Wei Zhiyan, 魏之琰; c. 1617-1689), a palace music master of the late Ming Dynasty from Fuqing, Fuzhou, Fujian province, southeast China who fled to Nagasaki, Japan upon that dynasty's fall in 1644. Wei Shuanghou's fourth-generation descendant Wei Hao, who prepared the "Weishi Yuepu," was a Chinese music specialist employed by the Tokugawa court. At that time in Japan this style of music was called Mingaku (明樂 / みんがく, literally "music from the Ming [Dynasty]"). Wei Hao selected the most important tunes out of a collection of more than 200 pieces and had them printed in 1768. The collection includes a broad array of scores for various wind, string, and percussion instruments, which are grouped into eight distinct modes. Your performance should be one of the first-ever performances of music from the "Weishi Yuepu" in North America.
Most beautiful 😔❤️
Just wonderful thank you
So beautiful
So unique musical instrument. It's aweful.❤

The ancient Dukes and Kings of the Zhou Dynasty would surely be proud to hear the sounds of the bells again ... no doubt Confucius himself too ... and naturally Duke of Zhou and Zhou Wen Wang

Not enough information on the functional design to allow me to build one. I got what a free reed is, but how is the air directed to only the reeds intended to sound?
I was there earlier for my field trip it was super fun
Did anyone notice the smiling face hanging on the wall right of tbe lady? 😁
Hahaha. Yes, we did. That is a Chinese lute called ruan.
@@mtsucenterforchinesemusic thank you for telling me, and thank you for this beautiful video: I am an admirer of the chinese culture

真正值得学习保留的古曲！

Fascinating how many effects pieces of wood can have. And I love dr Mai Hans dress!
can you guide me to find a collection of the best known traditional Chinese music for the xiao or the dizi. thank you
scores in book or pdf
this is one of the songs that i mastered ahah i play it all the time...
Aahh so this is the former version of traditional percussion from Jakarta (Hokkien-Betawi culture) before it transfomed to Gambang. Beautiful!
Great performance, such control over the bends! Zheng is such a versatile instrument, I just love the sound of it and the amount of musical possibilities it has.
Thank you for your comments.
The lady is beautiful and elegant and the grandpa with his rap is cute and adorable. I loved this!
❤❤❤❤ anybody knows the position Howard played? 4th on a G?
Not me unable to to pay attention to song and not the eyebrows 💀
Thanks for your valuable videos 💐❤
音準好贊！另外琴的左側是加了靜音用的裝置嗎？這要是邊彈邊踩靜音感覺腦子會轉不過來哈哈哈😂
I discovered this video by playing a mobile game called Animal Restaurant and one of the characters play a Sheng so I had to look it up cause I had never heard of such instrument and found this video...i love learning!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this educational video.
Thank you for your feedback!
Thank you sharing! Enjoyed this very much... cheerful.
Thank you for watching.

More of this please, but with better sound recording. As a Virginia native with bluegrass in my blood, I enjoy the Chinese version very much.
Thank you. Getting a good sound from a live performance is always a challenge. :)
Another cross-cultural blue grass piece: czcams.com/video/nVWEGJSZDGk/video.html
Absolutely brilliant. 🙏🏻👍💚
this stone chime is in fact the origin to the character 石 and why this character for stone is drawn such way.
It's the origin of the character 声 (as in 磬). 石 is explained as a stone beneath a cliff (厂)
太作狀了.
An incredibly skilled player. It was a pleasure watching her perform.
My man tearing it up on the qing
Hilarious how the CCP likes to control history. These were unearthed by western archaeologists in 1909. China had no desire to discover their own past, especially when it’s Han related.
So wild, love it. Could you do a video on the xiao please? I know it's not the xiao in the video, but I just want to know more about the chinese xiao; love the xiao. Thanks for the channel.
Thank you for your comments. Will try to create an intro to the xiao.
I love hearing the Yangqin played. I've seen a couple live performances from a recent traveling scholar with this Center and I've heard this particular piece played a couple times. It's a good one
I was at this concert. It was pretty neat to hear Bluegrass tunes being played on Chinese instruments. I used to be friends with Emory Gaskill and I do know Dr. Bailey. I always love hearing Chinese music
Thank you for your comments here, Lee. Have you visited the Center's instrument gallery before? If not yet, come to see us anytime.
@@mtsucenterforchinesemusic I need to swing by some day. According to Dr. Han I keep threatening to come by but I haven't been able to. One day I will.
@@leeholman3964 Hahaha. Come over anytime, Lee.
Isn't Qing also the name of the color of the usually green jadeite?
Different tone and therefore different logograph
Played with so much joy!! It's a privilege to look and listen to such professionalism expressing harmonious beauty.
Was the 12 tone scale, already equal temperament?
