hi mr. Murray, thanks for the very poignant playing. Your arrangement is very warm and touching. I happened to know Teresa Teng for two years in 1980-82 . This song always stays in my heart. take care stephen
indeed! while the intro is structurally & (except for bar 2) harmonically faithful to the original, the ending is slightly less faithful. for me, it made sense to base the intro & the ending on the break -- the part (in the original) where Teresa stops singing for a while. in the break, i changed only the melody; the structure & harmony remain intact.. thanks so much for your kind words! i agree, this love song -- like a second anthem -- will forever unite all Chinese people! .. all the best!!
Its the first time that I heard the beautiful song on a piano- its a really smooth and melodic arrangment. T.T. might have asked you to accompany her today- who knows? Thanks again and Thanks RUclips
Gordon, this one is absolutely beautiful. If there are no lyrics, I'd love to write something. Thank you so much for posting this and for your exquisite rendition. You're an incredibly talented man!
thanks so much for your kind words! .. to be asked today by T.T. would be heaven!! you know, if i had the chance to accompany any singer, she'd be my only choice.. thanks again!
Your long-awaited video....Fantastic!! Keep it up! It has been absolutely wonderful! 5 Stars from me. i do hope to play this piece of music on my dulcimer. I look forward to watching more videos..of u playing chinese music. ***** Superb!!
hi Stephen, thanks so much for your kind words. how i envy you knowing her over those 2-3 years. having viewed & enjoyed so many videos of her, i -- like so many -- have come to feel a certain closeness to her. so i can only imagine how you -- having known her -- must feel. no doubt she will always hold a special place in your heart. no doubt your memories of her are tender and poignant beyond words... take care gordon
Hello Gordon. Thank you for this video. I am trying to learn this piece to play to my mother who is 82 and very ill. She used to sing this in her youth. I hope I will be able to learn it in time for her. Your video inspires me even more to play this.
Hi Gordon -- A pleasure always to listen to these lovely arrangements, here and at the Y-S station. Thanks for introducing these songs to those who wouldn't have had the opportunity, not only to hear them but to hear them played so beautifully!
(...cont'd) That's the only phrase came to my mind when I heard your play - the phrase were meant to describe such beautiful sound... I keep hitting replay. hahah.. Just watched your O-Canada etude! How interesting!! I'm a PROUD Canadian myself! :D I used to live in Montreal & went to McGill. Now I live in the US. I really miss Canada...
Gordon, I hope you're well. It's always a pleasure for me to return to this posting to hear how beautifully you play. This song is one of my favourites. I'm sure I speak for everyone who appreciates your talent that you will soon have an opportunity to post more of these lovely arrangements.
Dear Gordon, this is heart-wrenchingly beautiful. I play the piano and you are an inspiration. I have watched this video many times. I wish you life's very best and hope to hear from you one day. Warmest regards, Arnold Tan, Australia.
Hey Gordon! It's been years now so I thought I would try my luck and see if there are sheets of this beautiful arrangement haha! Best version on the piano I've heard:)
This is awesome!!! This is definitely one of my favourite Teresa Teng songs :) Thanks :) Teresa Teng has been my favourite ever since I was 11 (unfortunately at that time she has already passed away....but that doesn't stop me from liking her wonderful music :)
thanks so much for your (as always) kind & encouraging words, & for the b-day wish! .. i'm just happy to post something after such a long time.. all the best!!
Hi Gordon -- This is how I imagine I would play if I had talent! I return to this posting often and enjoy it more each time I listen. It's a lovely song made even lovelier with your rendition.
Gorden, Fantastic, Marvelous and Amazing are insufficient to describe what you did. Because you used your heart to play. I can feel the passion. Nice job! Jennifer
thanks so much for your kind & encouraging words! .. it's an absolutely beautiful song to begin with.. sorry to have to tell you this (great that you're inspired to write lyrics), but this song already has beautiful lyrics. just type in "the moon represents my heart Teresa Teng" &/or "the moon represents my heart english".. all the best!!
thanks for checking out my video (in spite of the busy busy net)! .. you being as gifted & creative as you are, that somehow doesn't surprise me.. i heartily recommend your channel & your original literary, visual & musical creations.. all the best!! ^o^
thanks so much! .. wow, i can't think of a better reason to start playing the piano! .. someday i hope you'll play this song with as much flair & eloquence as YOU display in your videos.
hey, it's a really great phrase! .. thanks so much for your kind words! so glad you like my arr.! .. my O Canada etude doesn't sound terribly patriotic! LOL.. Montreal est une belle ville. i imagine i'd miss Canada too if i were to leave. hope your life is happy & fulfilled where you're living now.. i enjoyed you're comments very much. & i learned a lot! LOL.. all the best!!
i'm glad my arr. inspired your son to play this song, & that your family likes it. i have more arr.s (Chinese and non-Chinese), & plan to post some of them. I agree, the Green Island Serenade is a very beautiful song.
i'm sorry, for certain reasons, i'm not prepared to make the sheet music available at this time. but at some point in the future, i'll make it available. sorry again. & very sorry for the delay; in past months (even years), i wasn't on RUclips very much.. best wishes!!!
Your kindness & blessing mean so much to me! From the bottom of my heart, I wish you & your family a joyous holiday season, & health & happiness always!!
HI Gordon, WOW!! This is one of my favourite piece of music. There is just one word to describe your arrangement "fantastic!". The music is literally flowing , so soothing and melodious. Great!! 非常好!
"家喻户晓，尽人皆知" Translation (more or less): "known to all, common knowledge" ~~ "有如高山流水，大珠小珠落玉盘" Translation (more or less): "it's like (the) flowing water of a tall/majestic mountain, big drops tiny drops big drops tiny drops" Wow, i don't think my arr. can be described more poetically than that! yes, there are some splashes of sound & some delicate cascading figurations..
GORDON!! That is amazing! I enjoy the song even MORE! after hearing you play the piano! I love it!! Just relaxes my mind, body and soul. Great interpretation Gordon! Thanks!! :D!
2) but i'd like to add that i'm glad that Emily likes my piece too, & that i hope (some day) she'll be able to play it (if she's still interested!).. thank you! .. all the best to you & your family!!
Ok - I'm counting on your promise! Yes I left China after high school. At the beginning I watched a lot of 90210 to learn English, so somehow people thought I was from California - I've never been there at the time... :-p Good luck with Chinese studying!! 加油！:D
thank you so much! TMRMH is one of my favourties too :) i could listen to Teresa's rendition forever.. i'm glad you like my arr. :) thank you!! .. hey, you discovered her long before me, but -- same here -- that won't stop me from always loving her & her music too :) .. wishing you the very best!!!
I love LOVE your arrangements. Thank you so much for sharing this. This is such a classic love song in China - 家喻户晓，尽人皆知。I never took piano lessons, but I can play some pieces of Chopin's (not too well of course :-p). I plan to play this on my friend's wedding in China. I only have the standard score though. I wish I could play your version - b/c it's 有如高山流水，大珠小珠落玉盘。Bravo!!
Enjoy learning Chinese! :D I admire the courage & dedication of anyone who's learning Chinese as a 2nd language. If I didn't grow up in China, I probably will never be able learn it... I can't stop watching this piece - it's really the BEST ever!! Please please please make the score of your arrangement available - I'm dying to learn how to play like this... pleeeeeeeease...... :D
you were never off beat not even once, i can easily sing the lyrics to your piano playing this is the only version i've seen in youtube that can completely synchonize to singing the beats from the other ones usually i find the pauses are too long, they don;t flow nicely damn your're good
Wow! I can listen to this song at last coz the net is not busy! I love this song sooooooooooooo much! I hoped to hear since last week but I can just listen it now. Do you know, when I was only four, I used to sing "The moon represents my heart". I love it! ^o^
thanks so much Yong! .. i'm sorry, for certain reasons, i'm not prepared to make the sheet music available at this time. but at some point in the future, i'll make it available. sorry again. & very sorry for the delay; in past months (& even years), i wasn't on RUclips very much.. best wishes!!!
thanks! i'll definitely keep on plugging away, as i really do enjoy learning Chinese! you must have left China at a young age; your English is excellent! .. you'ree tooooo kind! .. this arr. & some others (which some people have expressed an interest in) aren't available at the moment. i'd like very much to make them available sometime in the future. i promise to let you know when this arr. is available. hope you'll enjoy playing my arr. someday! .. all the best!!

This is undoubtedly a beautiful rendition of this evergreen Mandarin Chinese song.
Every time I hear this music I feel sad but I love to listen it . I miss my beloved husband in heaven died last 2016 😢😢😢
Thank You From The Bottom Of My Heart. It means so much to me. May God bless your golden heart.
It's a very nice rendition. I love it.
行雲流水般的柔美，nice。

Your playing made me tear up. So beautiful. Thank you so much.
One of the best piece and song arrangements that best bring up the original song feel.
