Colourful Clouds Chasing The Moon by Wang Jian-Zhong (王建中) // Jasmine Lucia Wong, piano

Wang Jian-Zhong’s piano arrangement of Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon transforms this famous Chinese folk orchestral piece into one of the most significant works in Chinese piano repertoire. Originally composed in 1935 by Ren Guang and Nie'Er, the piece captures the imagery of a serene night sky, with colorful clouds gracefully drifting around the moon. This imagery is often associated with the Mid-Autumn Festival and reflects the aesthetic and symbolism of the night sky in Chinese mythology. In this arrangement, Wang retains the pentatonic foundation of the original composition while incorporating Western harmonic techniques, chromaticism, and ornamental tones. Trills and arpeggios enhance the texture, producing a fuller, richer sound that mimics traditional Chinese instruments from the original folk work while evoking a shimmering, dynamic atmosphere that mirrors the beauty of the moonlit sky. By blending Chinese musical traditions with Western compositional practices, Wang’s arrangement offers a vivid and enchanting musical experience that celebrates both cultural heritage and artistic innovation.
