notes

"Chinese Natural World" - Vol. III
Featuring Chinese Wind, Plucked and Bowed instruments.

The small ensemble is part of Chinese culture, and was intended to entertain at small social gatherings. The music here varies from ancient melodies to more recent compositions.

Sounds of nature interweave with the intriguing music of days gone by, performed by Lawrence Wong on Er-hu, Chiu Siu Wai on Xiao, Alice Pan on Yeung-kum, and Yeung Po Wing on Pei-pa.

* Chinese Natural World Vols. I, II, & III feature superb performances of the most famous and definitive melodies drawn from over 2000 years of Chinese culture, combined with natural ambience sound effects of the rain forests, plains, oceans, and rivers.

* Performances are by the finest young players working in the Asian performing arts, and feature exotic instruments, with bowed strings such as Er-hu, Ko-hu, and Jing-hu, woodwinds such as Qu-di, Xiao, and Ban-di, together with the famous Yeung Kum and Pei-pa.

* BIG SKY was created to bring together music and art from around the world. It is dedicated to projects which will build bridges and lead toward understanding.

  • Chinese Natural Tranquility
    author: Dr. Judy

    The Chinese Natural World CDs, volumes 1 - 3, are great! Serene traditional Chinese melodies, featuring woodwind and stringed instruments, resonate amidst the peaceful sounds of nature: birds; ocean surf; rivers and gently trickling streams. Superb performances feature the bamboo flute, Erhu, and other wonderful instruments. These CDs create tranquil and peaceful ambience, making them superb for listening while you relax, read, or work. Each CD in the series has a different timbre, allowing you to select the volume that best suits your passion for listening. I highly recommend all three CDs in the Chinese Natural World series.
