Podcasts about chinese music

Las músicas no occidentales forman parte del cambio producido en la música en todos sus parámetros. Entre estas puede hablarse del gagaku japonés, de las músicas chinas asociadas a las tradiciones yayue y suyue, y de las ejecutadas por etnias africanas como los pigmeos._____Has escuchadoJapon.

The traditional Chinese festival Qingming Festival is commemorated to honor and pay respects to ancestors. Flowers such as plum blossoms, peach blossoms, and peonies, which bloom during the Qingming Festival, carry profound cultural connotations. They serve as emotional symbols to express respect and nostalgia for deceased loved ones, while also symbolizing the vitality and hope of life.

If you talk to someone who is Chinese, you have to keep this mind all of the time. In Chinese traditional culture, we respect someone who is older than us. By saying respect, that includes us not usually talking casually to them, we use “您 nín” instead of “你 nǐ,” and we never call them by their first name. There are more Chinese cultural manners. You don't have to know them all but stick to the ones you have learned. These are very different from many western cultures. Xièxie nǐ de bāngmáng!

When you're traveling, the best moments are always the ones that take you by surprise. And while we were making the Exploring San Francisco by Cable Car episode one fell into our lap. We didn't have space in the episode to include the full scene, but if you love music it's something you're going to want to hear.    But let's set the scene first ... we're in Chinatown walking through those beautiful lantern strung streets, pagodas adorned in yellow and gold, temples, and tea shops everywhere, when we stumble upon Shangri-La Gifts.    One of the owners, a young woman named Fang-Yi, is a master player of the Guzheng, a more than 2,000-year-old traditional Chinese instrument. She takes us upstairs to a secret studio above her shop where she teaches Chinese American kids this ancient art form in order to help keep the tradition alive. She introduces us to two of her students and they start to play ...This is the performance we heard. It took us by surprise, it blew our mind and that's what San Francisco's all about.   For more information: sftravel.com   This episode was produced by Armchair Productions, the audio experts for the travel industry. Field recording by Jason Paton.

"Whenever i listen to chinese zen music i go to another place in my imagination alone sitting under a blossom tree and looking at the sunset. love this thank you so much for making this kind of music." - Avatar Just close your eyes, focus, and visualize yourself in this beautiful movie ShangShi and you are meditating, and relaxing with a Relaxing Zen Chinese, Japanese Sound in the background. Isn't it EPIC? Chinese music is so relaxing because it is often played at low volumes and has a lot of soft melodies. It also incorporates the sounds of nature, like water and birds. The sounds of bamboo being played on a stringed instrument called a Shamisen, can be very soothing and relaxing to listen to, especially when you are in an environment where you can hear natural sounds like birds chirping or water flowing. Another reason why Japanese music is so relaxing is that it has more complex melodies and harmonies than other types of music. This means that there are more interesting sounds for your brain to process when listening to Japanese music which in turn makes it easier for you to relax.

For Huang Ruo, music--like theater--exists in a four-dimensional space. As he explains to Frank J. Oteri in this latest episode of NewMusicBox's SoundLives podcast, there is also a larger purpose in most of Huang Ruo's work, whether it is to call attention to stories of people, particularly Asians and Asian-Americans, whose voices have often not been heard, or to provide an environment for reflection and healing.

This episode was originally released on May 7th 2021 via Facebook and YouTube. May is the celebration of AAPI Heritage Month. We will introduce Mingmei, Yip: Best Selling Author with publications in multiple languages sold in 10 countries, Champion of Traditional Chinese Music (Qin), Buddhist Studies, and traditional art. This is a true immigrant success story. In Hong Kong, Mingmei had an enviable life as a professor, published author, Buddhist studies scholar, and TV expert. Then as fate would have it, she met the love of her life, and next thing you know, she's in a strange land where for her brilliance to shine, she would have to start from the ground up, including learning how to write in a new language. Yet, she never wavered from the identity of who she was. If hard work and risk-taking were required, she simple stepped up and said, “Here I am!” Her appearance may be delicate and beautiful, but there's a strength inside that was not to be contempt with. Fast-forwarding to today, she's a bestselling author with multiple novels, children's books, scholarly publications on the ancient Chinese instrument “qin” (古琴), a published artist, and a well-known educator.

Zhang Dianying is the influential composer in the nation that has witnessed, taken part in and helped guide the development of classical music in China over the past half century. Born in 1939, Zhang is one of the earliest composers to become active in the years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, which has written over 200 works during a career spanning over 40 years. Many of his compositions remain great favorites with the music-loving public. In this episode, we'll get up close and personal with the 82-year old composer, with some of his reputed works and stories behind them.

When you think of musicians made for Asheville, Min Xiao-Fen doesn't quite fit the stereotype. Min grew up in a musical family in Nanjing, China, became a virtuoso of the pipa and performed as a soloist for over a decade with traditional Chinese orchestras. "I feel lost a little bit in China. Everything's controlled, China's system. Even when you play music, you have to play exactly as master taught you how to play. You have to be very controlled, disciplined," Min said. "I just feel I want a change. I wanted to go to other countries to see if maybe I could change my career. I don't really know what I want. I just thought maybe I could find something for myself."

Today's podcast is with Wu Man, recognized as the world’s premier pipa virtuoso and leading ambassador of Chinese music, Wu Man has carved out a career as a soloist, educator, and composer giving her lute-like instrument—which has a history of over 2,000 years in China—a new role in both traditional and contemporary music. Through numerous concert tours she has premiered hundreds of new works for the pipa, while spearheading multimedia projects to both preserve and create awareness of China’s ancient musical traditions. Her adventurous spirit and virtuosity have led to collaborations across artistic disciplines, allowing her to reach wider audiences as she works to cross cultural and musical borders. Her efforts were recognized when she was named Musical America’s 2013 “Instrumentalist of the Year,” marking the first time this prestigious award has been bestowed on a player of a non-Western instrument. Having been brought up in the Pudong School of pipa playing, one of the most prestigious classical styles of Imperial China, Ms. Wu is now recognized as an outstanding exponent of the traditional repertoire as well as a leading interpreter of contemporary pipa music by today’s most prominent composers such as Tan Dun, Philip Glass, the late Lou Harrison, Terry Riley, Bright Sheng, Chen Yi, and many others. She was the recipient of The Bunting Fellowship at Harvard University in 1998, and was the first Chinese traditional musician to receive The United States Artist Fellowship in 2008. She is also the first artist from China to perform at the White House. In 2015, she was appointed Visiting Professor of three major Chinese conservatories: her alma mater the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing, Xi’an Conservatory of Music, and Zhejiang Conservatory in her hometown; she has also served as Artistic Director of the Xi’an Silk Road Music Festival at the Xi'an Conservatory.

Producer/Host: Gina Logue Guest: Dr. Mei Han Synopsis: The director of the MTSU Center for Chinese Music and Culture previews the second annual Murfreesboro Festival of Chinese Arts.

On this episode of the podcast I take stock of overseas milestones achieved by Chinese artists operating at both the mainstream and underground levels in 2018. The audio was recorded from a talk on the subject I gave at Shanghai space Subland, which was followed by a debate with German music critic Fabian Peltsch, who asks important questions such as: Why should it matter to Chinese artists to "go global"? When we say "global," how do we distinguish between "the West" and other parts of the world, such as Southeast Asia and Africa, where China is actively seeking to build influence through large-scale projects such as the Belt and Road Initiative? Most importantly, are we stuck with Kris Wu as the go-to artist to represent Chinese music on international charts? Full info: radiichina.com/b-side-china-ep-12/

What does it mean to be Chinese? 415 million Chinese millennials in China wrestle with crushing pressure to live up to a cultural identity and societal ideal. What are they? How do they cope? What are their biggest fears? Check out Part 2 of my interview with author/public speaker Zak Dychtwald  “This Chinese Life: What does it mean to be Chinese?” Music used: Brad McCarthy's "One in a Billion Theme" Jason Shaw's "Acoustic Meditation" Doctor Turtle's "Wherever I Lay My Hat, That's My Wife" Andy G. Cohen's "Space (Full)"

Huang Ruo's career wasn't his to choose. His fortune-teller grandfather and composer father did that for him, and at the age of 12 he was bundled off to a distant music conservatory in Shanghai as his mother wept. Sad as that may sound, it all worked out remarkably well. Huang Ruo's path eventually took him from China to the U.S., to Oberlin and Julliard, and today it's hard to imagine him as anything other than the prolific and exuberant composer he's become. His work draws on all the music he heard growing up in China and in the years since – from ancient ritual chants and folk songs to classical, rock and pop (both Chinese and western) – to create something that feels integral, vibrant and new. He's also a wonderful singer, as you'll hear in this very musical interview. I met Huang Ruo when he was in town for the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music, and getting to know him and his work was a highlight of the festival for me. Here are some of the things we talked about as we listened to a selection of his incredibly varied oeuvre.
