Ancient court documents describe how generations of talented musicians developed its music. John E.

He combines language and musical skills with an aesthetic sensibility in sharing what he calls this world of expressive beauty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composer Yang Jing is also an internationally renowned pipa soloist. Rooted in the millennia-old tradition of Chinese music, she builds on a vast amalgam of musical history. The result is sometimes musical poetry, sometimes powerful unheard-of sounds. YANG Jing's technical and musical inventions on the pipa bear witness to her constant expansion of the world of harmony. She was born on the south bank of the Yellow River in December 1963. She began her musical training at the age of 6, playing the pipa, sometimes called the Chinese Lute. From 1976, at the age of 12, she began her journey through various schools and performance ensembles: Henan Opera Music School, Shanghai Conservatory of Music, China National Orchestra, Asia Ensemble (Tokyo), Master's Courses in Composition with Minoru Miki, Master's in Contemporary Composition and Theory at the Hochschule der Kunst Bern, Swiss Jazz Quintet, 4tet Different Song. She has also worked with many orchestras, groups of outstanding musicians, and her colleagues in various ensembles. She writes music for western symphony orchestras, choirs, and ensembles as well as music for formations with traditional Chinese instruments. Her works have been performed in music festivals and concert tours in Europe, China, Japan, the USA, and Canada. She based her home in central Switzerland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook is specially designed to meet the needs of both Chinese and English readers, researchers, and translators who are interested in Chinese culture. The Chinese cultural terms included in this book cover almost all the aspects of Chinese culture, literary, artistic, religious, philosophical, folkloric, classical, vernacular and so on. As many of them have not their English equivalents, the authors have tried to find the corresponding English terms for them as much as possible so that they can be conductive to the readers' grasp of the Chinese cultural terms and phrases when they read or translate a Chinese book about Chinese culture. This book is indispensible and very useful to sinologists, Chinese-English translators and tour guides.
