A Flower Moon Night on Spring River
puts the listener in a happy mood as though he were looking at a graceful
Oriental landscape painting; Moonful Autumn makes one feel the inner sorrow
of a bleak autumn day; Ambushed From Ten Sides sets the listener on thunderous
ancient battleground; All the World Rejoices stirs up a joy of celebration
in whoever happens to get caught up in its festive rhythms. These are famous
examples of traditional Chinese musical compositions, all of which can transport
the listener into a whole new sensory world.
 "
Chinese music is built on a totally consistent harmonic system which controls
melodic progression, orchestration and temperament use. It is perhaps
the only major musical system in the world that has such all-encompassing
requirements on all aspects of its music and, at the same time, allowing
the largest flexibility in the acceptance of harmonic intervals into music."
