History of "Dance of Yao People" Inspired by the folk songs of Yao people, Liu Tieshan composed Long Drum Dance of the Yao People during a visit to Youling village, Sanpai town, Liannan Yao Autonomous County, Qingyuan, northern Guangdong province, southern China in 1951. Mao Yuan, another composer, adapted this piece into an orchestral work in 1952. In the late 20th century, the song was used as the basis for several pop songs, in both China and the United States. The first 18 notes of the 1998 song "When You Believe," as recorded by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, are based on "Dance of the Yao People," although the Chinese composers of the original work were not credited.
What is crazy is not that the composer of Prince of Egypt (Hans Zimmer) used 瑶族舞曲, it is that he borrowed a CHINESE melody for an animation called Prince of EGYPT. If the movie was even remotely about China, it would have been fine.

HAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE MUSIC FROM THE C64 GAME "the exploding fist" i cant belive it! i like this tune since i was 3 years old with a commodore 64 ! Thank you for having this kind of music on youtube!
I still remember in the 80s when I was learning Erhu. My teacher used to play this song when I was so impressed that I try to imitate as a beginner. 8 years later, I joined a local Chinese Orchestra and have a chance to take part in playing (as Gaohu) the version you are hearing. I was so glad and thrilled. Thank you for the composer. You've inspired me for my interests in Chinese music for the past 25 years.
The orchestra really brought out the spirit of the song, though it was played slower than the version our school played. AHHH when can we ever play the song so well? *_*
I love 瑶族舞曲!! One of the song i love best in Chinese Orchestra~ Had the conductor score and it's really a good arrangement.. Heeez.. Can hear the Sheng very clearly during their solo too~~ ^-^/

Heeey! The Prince of Egypt stole this masterpiece and I love this so much more! Thank you so much China!

幼儿园的磁带里最爱的一首曲子，长大后一直在反复回忆曲名，直到刚刚在睡梦中想起来，现在是英国凌晨一点半，我也从幼儿园小朋友变成一个研究生了。来英国三年了，无时无刻不在回味这些民族精髓。
祝愿学成归来，报孝祖国，忽忘祖根。
今年第一次在国外过年，在丹麦听了1998年这一系列的演出，居然没把泪憋住

Correct the first time I heard this was on the Commodore 64 back in 1985 and it is brilliant the original music is from 1952 just a great tune

當我聽到這瑤族舞曲時會回想年青時的開心。

她吹奏技术太厉害了，我之前有过一次抹口红吹笛子的经历，真的很难控制
有那麼誇張嗎 覺得還好

Touching, dynamics wise and skill...what else can one expect from a national level orchestra.

The conductor is very confident and the music is great.
