Hey guys, nice to see you again!
This time I like to present a composition by the Chinese composer Rao Yuyan (1933-2010). He was born in Shanghai and after his graduation from Shanghai Conservatory he became a Professor at Xi‘an Conservatory of Music teaching Composition, Musical Form and Polyphony. His compositions combine elements of Polyphony with local Chinese tonality.
This piece starts with the right hand flowing softly. The left hand repeats short motives in the high register and bass like echos. In the middle section the music becomes more moving with resemblance of Chinese opera and folk dances. In the end the motives from the beginning reappear accompanied by big waves of sound. The piece is wrapped up with cascades of chords that remind the listener of an impressive Temple or Pagoda.
The sheet music is part of a big order of 13 books of sheet music that I made which has been sent to me by ship from China. Those books are the Series of Piano Music by Chinese composers by the Shanghai Music Publishing House.
