A
Farmer's Home along the Wei River Valley
"A
Farmer's Home" is a solo traditionally sung by a woman. The lyrics
are from a poem by Wang Wei, a famous Tang Dynasty poet (also known as
"the patriotic poet"), which imagines the simple and yet happy
life of a farmer.
Spring Orioles
Song
"Spring Orioles Song" was a piece of music that was created
for Tang Gaozong's inauguration. During the ceremony, a flock of orioles
flew overhead. The emperor was so impressed by this good luck sign that
he ordered his court musicians to compose music for the Pai Xiao, a three
thousand years old instrument, to imitate the sound of the orioles. This
music will be performed by Executive Producer, Gao Ming, who is internationally
recognized as the premier performer of the Pai Xiao.
Glory of the Silk
Country
"Glory of the Silk Country" is an excerpt from the award-winning
Chinese opera "The Silk Road Rainbow," created and written by
Executive Producer Gao Ming in 1990. This sensational opera tells the
story of the legendary Silk Road which, for hundreds of years, served
as the main thoroughfare between China and the West. The scene depicted
tells of the Tang Emperor's approval and support in establishing the Silk
Road.
