“Pine-Soughing Valley” by Guoping Jia《万壑松风》作曲：贾国平, OFUNAM Mexico

此曲由音乐家董颖（笙）、苏畅（古筝）在2014年5月与著名指挥家吕绍嘉先生执棒的德国曼海姆国家和剧院首演. v.qq.com/x/sea...
此视频由指挥林涛先生执棒，董颖（笙）、苏畅（古筝）与墨西哥国立自治大学爱乐乐团在墨西哥上演。作品灵感和标题来自南宋著名画家李唐的山水画作《万壑松风》。作曲家贾国平先生通过此曲尽力去发掘笙与古筝这两种中国乐器新的演奏方式和音乐表达的可能性。作曲家不仅限于体现东西文化的结合，而是希望通过这部作品做到对内心感受的表达。就如同中国千年以前的古代画家，通过山水画来描绘自然一样，他们实际上是借助画面阐述某种哲理或表达自己的思想，这是作者想要寻找的境界。
This piece was premiered by Ying Dong (Sheng), Chang Su (Zither) Shaojia Lv (Conductor) together with Mannheim National Theatre Orchestra May 2014. v.qq.com/x/sea...
This concert was performed by soloists Ying Dong(Sheng), Chang Su (Zither) and conductor Tao Lin, together with National Autonomous University of Mexico's Philharmonic Orchestra. The name of the piece and inspiration comes from Nan Song Dynasty famous painter Tang Li's Chinese traditional landscape painting. The composer tries the new ways of playing these two traditional Chinese instruments, and the possibilities of exploring the musicality. It is not only a mixture of Eastern and Western culture, but the true expression of the composer himself. This is just like the Chinese ancient landscape paintings, which express the philosophy or ones' inner-selves. Mr. Jia is looking for level of thoughts.
About the instrument:
This ancient Chinese Instrument is called Sheng (笙), mainly translated to Mouth Organ. Unlike organ and harmonica or even Accordion, Sheng is the true free reed instrument. It means the signal reed can be triggered when the player plays both inhalation and exhalation.
