瑶族舞曲 (Dance Of The Yao People) Guzheng Performance | Guzheng Grade Exam Level 6 古筝考级六级曲目

Inspired by the folk songs of Yao people, Liu Tieshan composed Long Drum Dance of the Yao People during a visit to Youling village (油岭村), Sanpai town (三排镇), Liannan Yao Autonomous County (连南瑶族自治县), Qingyuan (清远市), northern Guangdong province, southern China in 1951. Mao Yuan, another composer, adapted this piece into an orchestral work in 1952. Although it was originally composed for Western instruments, it is generally performed by Chinese traditional instruments (either for solo guzheng, chamber ensemble, or orchestral).video It is also performed by ensembles or orchestras of Western instruments. The work achieved wide attention in 1954, when the arrangement for Chinese orchestra by the conductor Peng Xiuwen (彭修文) was disseminated throughout China. Musically, the work is in several sections, some slow and some fast. It begins in 2/4 meter at a slow tempo, moves to 3/4 meter, then returns to 2/4 meter in a faster tempo for the finale.
