This piece was selected as part of the Celestial Dynasty’s ninth grade music textbook.
Interestingly, however, the creator of this piece is not from the Celestial Dynasty.
The creator is nad Yanni, the first Western musician approved by the Chinese governnt to hold a concert inside the Forbidden City.
In ’97, that concert.
Yanni used the piano to lead the band in performing "Nightingale," touching countless people overnight.
Lin Yuan personally likes this piece very much.
The first concert of his life would naturally lean towards his own tastes, presenting his favorite piece.
With Lin Yuan’s introduction, the band had already settled in.
The bamboo flute is key, as its sound represents the Nightingale’s voice.
Additionally, the commonly seen violins and cellos in major bands are also present, considered standard equipnt.
Of course, the piano is indispensable as well.
What’s special is that this piece also utilizes an electric band, incorporating elents of electronic music.
This is Yanni’s musical style, after all, he is renowned as a "world-class keyboard prodigy" and "one of the pioneers of electronic music," favoring the elegant fusion of classical symphonic music with dazzling modern electric music, interpreting classical music from a modern perspective.
Therefore.
It wouldn’t be wrong to say this "Nightingale" is symphonic music, as the instrunts constitute the basic structure of a symphony, though it’s not quite conventional, not in the most standard format.
Yanni himself often says:
It’s New Age music, newage.
...
This concert did not use a live broadcast format, so it cannot be seen online.
From the outside.
After experiencing the news bombardnt of the Golden Hall’s red carpet show.
People were still discussing various news surrounding the red carpet show.
Suddenly.
Soone said:
"The concert should have started, right?"
"I wonder what it’s like inside."
"I really wish I could go!"
"Didn’t get a ticket, argh!"
"All the tickets were bought by the big shots!"
"Indeed."
"The most annoying thing is that so big shots don’t even understand the music; they just go to pretend to be cultured."
"Haha, I bet they’re already starting their business talks."
"Isn’t the Golden Hall equipped with private rooms? They’re just prepared for these people."
"We can only wait for the video to be released later."
Not to ntion.
The netizens guessed right.
At this mont.
Inside the private room of the Golden Hall.
Networking among the socialites had already begun.
In different private rooms, discussions about cooperation were underway.
Yet.
In the midst of chatting.
The graceful and lodious sound of the bamboo flute suddenly began.
An inexplicable sentint entwined around, resembling yearning and reminiscence, yet also comforting and settling, making the heart sway with the music suddenly...
Whether they understood or not.
Many had no idea this sound ca from the bamboo flute, as pairs of eyes instinctively looked towards the stage.
And in those private rooms.
People who had been talking, suddenly quieted their voices.
In the abrupt silence, ripples of emotion gradually appeared on their faces.
A few were about to speak but were fiercely glared at by others, montarily unable to utter a word, showing a bit of bewildernt, suddenly feeling sad, as if the music had cast so magic, exerting an influence over the human heart.
"What is this?"
