Re: China Japan and the Far East
Does anyone have:
Ren Guang (arr. Wang Jian-zhong): Silver [or sometimes 'Colorful'] Clouds Chasing the Moon
Written by Ren Guang in 1935, Silver Clouds Chasing the Moon was originally for Chinese instrumental ensemble. The piano transcription was written in 1975. The pure harmonies and rich texture help keep the original folk character. At the same time, the transcription makes full use of the piano's expressive power. This is an illustrative piece of contemporary Chinese music.
Have heard it a few times. Pretty piece!
Cheers,
P.

Re: China Japan and the Far East
Thanks hands for all these new additions to the thread, greatly appreciated. I don't know about you but I do love the titles the Chinese (and others from the East) give to their pieces, they are so poetic and picturesque, makes playing them even more pleasurable, much better than Klavierstuck, Morceau etc.

Not so true for the composer's name, though I suppose Wang could be considered 'picturesque'.

Re: China Japan and the Far East
Chinese is a character based language. So the "Western" spelling of the names is based on the phonation of these characters. So a same name may be spelt in several different ways, as long as they sound the same. And each character has its own meaning.remy wrote:Very true with regard to the titles of the pieces.

So:
Wang - king or emperor
Jian - healthy, strong
Zhong - middle, (as in Zhong Guo or Middle Kingdom or China)
Beat this for being picturesque: The Sound of Big Waves. Wang Li-San (1933 - ) 1959 graduate of the Shanghai Music Conservatory.
(Note the Wang here is different from Wang Jian-Zhong. 2 different characters, but they sound the same, so they are spelt the same.)

Re: China Japan and the Far East
An arrangement of a haunting Inner Mongolian Folksong by Ren Da-Min
The young wild gooses (symbolizing Gada Melin, hero of Mongols)from the south,
You always stop at Xila Muren River before flying further.
The wild gooses are from north to south
In order to seek the warmness ofthe sun.
So Gada Meilin, who rose up to fight,
Was for the land of Mongols.
