The rich sonorities and compelling melodies of Chinese music are invoked on string instruments consisting of the erhu and related 2-string fiddles, pipa (lute), zheng (long, plucked zither), ruan (moon guitar) and yangqin (hammered dulcimer). Musicians from the ensemble Music from China perform masterworks from the Chinese classical and folk repertoire with an array of stylistic variations, timbral colors, and musical imagery.The program includes such immortal classical compositions as Ambush on Ten Sides, a powerful re-creation of a 3rd century battle scene, and the romance with nature of A Moonlit River in Spring. Folk music selections span China’s broad landscape, from the urban sophistication of Shanghai and Guangdong (Canton) to the vast expanse of the Mongolian steppes (to 4:15).
