《怅望黄河》 隐啸 古琴 Looking Mournfully over the Yellow River, Yin Xiao Guqin

Recorded for presentation at the New York Guin Society meeting in November 2024, this is a composition of my own creation inspired by my second visit to the Yellow River with the instrument maker who made this instrument, Xu Yachong. The Yellow River, known as the mother river of China, has brought prosperity to the country due to the sealed which was able to be used in brickmaking et cetera. But it has also caused the loss of perhaps 13 million lives over the millennia due to flooding. The instrument used in this recording is 雁鸣.
