It could possibly be posted on the Cadenza Music site. Regards, Paul |

How about xi yang yang (happiness), bu bu gao (higher step by step). Any happy, jaunty, light hearted pieces will be suitable.

Thanks, I've got them, but not at the moment. I was just suggesting pieces that might be suitable. I don't think there's really any chinese new year music as such.

I love Quiet Evening/Elegant Night (Liang Xiao). More upbeat tunes include "The flower and the moon" and one of my favorites that is translated variously as "Bright Prospects" or "Go Straight to the Bright Future". My ensemble is playing Purple Bamboo on Saturday for the New Year. I will try to get a list of the other tunes. I am so challenged when it comes to the Pinyin names of tunes!
Best wishes,
David

David,
I'm also playing concert with some other erhu students on Feb 11 and playing Purple Bamboo. We're playing another song (Cantonese), but I don't know the name of it.
When we do Bamboo, we play it through the first time, then repeat the second part but with some people palying the first part at the same time -- kinda like a canon (if I remember correctly)
Regards,
Paul...

Purple Bamboo is Zizhu Diao. Don't know the rest... (although 'flower and the moon', are you talking about Chunjiang Huayue Ye?)

"Bright Prospects" or "Go Straight to the Bright Future" I think is guang ming xing (starts on D4 repeating da dadada dadada.... ) A lot of cantonese tunes are quite upbeat and would suitable for a new year show: Awakening lion (xing shi), drunken moon (zui yue) etc.
Others include Su nan melody (sunan xiaoqu) and of course horse race/saima.

The tune I know as "Bright Prospects" from one CD at least is apparently Liang Xiao. I found the score on the Cadenza "library". At a New Year celebration today the ensemble I played in performed Purple Bamboo and Xi Yang Yang. We had plans to play more but our time was cut due to an out-of-control schedule. I was to have played a tune titled Ye Le An Yu Mung, translated to me as "Dream".
There were hundreds of people at the celebration, but I don't think they heard us very well. The room was quite large and the sound arrangements were not good for a small band of acoustic instruments. I look forward to future gigs in smaller venues, such as the Portland Chinese Garden (http://www.portlandchinesegarden.org). That is a very special place that complements traditional Chinese music.
Best wishes,
David

The track listings on CDs are sometimes wrong, esp with non original recording/compilation type CDs without any credits. Guang Ming Xing means "going to bright", or towards the light, to bright prospects, etc. Did "Bright Prospects" have the same charactors as on the Liangxiao score? I don't think I've heard "Ye Le An Yu Meng". |

I don't think I've heard "Ye Le An Yu Meng". Ah, my mistake. Serves me right for writing my post while half asleep. Of course you are right that Liang Xiao is Beautiful Evening. Ye Le An Yu Meng is from a two-volume set of books with CDs I got from my teacher. The tunes are mostly 20th century tunes set to synth/orchestral accompaniments. Some of the accompaniments are cheezy, but still useful and fun to hear the music played well. I like to play along and try to match the pitch and ornamentation. Best wishes, David |

This is one of the first tunes I learned on dizi, and now I am enjoying it on erhu. I messed up on the title of the "Dream" tune. It should be Ye Lean Yu Mung. Best wishes, David |
