I really enjoy a lot of Chinese classical music recordings I can hear.
This is no exception, but it is not at the top of the list.
The basic concept is to concentrate this series around the bamboo theme. The title is not just a poetic image, but a true description of the content.
All the songs are related to bamboo, from "the sound of bamboo in the heart" to "the singing of bamboo under the moonlight."
In addition, the wind instruments used are made of bamboo, and ten kinds used here: di, xiao, sheng, Chinese sputum, gui-zi, ba-wu, kouxian, lu-sheng, bamboo leaves and hu-lu-si . Some of them are traditionally Chinese and others are from other ethnic groups.
The two most common are Chinese bamboo flute, di and xiao.
Di is very popular and popular in Chinese music. It is similar to a flute. It has two common varieties: bang-di, soothing and soft, and qu-di has a strong high pitch.
Small [or small] is usually made of purple bamboo, yellow bamboo or white bamboo. Its sound is soft and the sound is very low, usually used for concerts.
It is very old and can be traced back to the early days of Chinese civilization. It is basically a series of bamboo flutes of different lengths.
Bamboo is closely related to Chinese music. They use the phrase "si zhu" - silk and bamboo - to refer to music and instruments.
It's fun to know the timing of this piece of music. The booklet accompanying the CD is almost helpless. One of the producers is big enough to graduate from college in 1962. Then he went to Fujiang Academy of Art to study music - there are his biological products. Did he spend ten years studying farms on pig farms during the Cultural Revolution? Is this music officially approved by the Chinese Communist Party, just as it was in Mao Zedong's life? We have not been told.
However, another producer was listed as having some credit related to Buddhism, which meant that this was a post-Mao Zedong product [although the current regime is not friendly to any religion].
The flaw in this series is that all the tracks are designed to produce a tranquil atmosphere that reflects the bamboo forest. They are slow and calm. It's very beautiful, one by one, but after a while you start to crave some changes, some contrasts.
This is a good CD, when you just want to lie down and space out. It won't let you start dancing, but it's more compelling than what people usually buy in the new era.
If not, please be prepared for comfort.
