Flute and Drum at Sunset, by Yinghai Li

Flute and Drum at Sunset, by Yinghai Li. Performed on September 18, 2016, by Professor David Witten, piano, at the John J. Cali School of Music, Montclair State University, Montclair, NJ, as part of a program to honor the 2,567th anniversary of the birth of Confucius. Li Ying-hai (1927-2007) was born in the Sichuan Province of China and in 1948 graduated in composition from Nanjing National Conservatory. He moved to Shanghai, and from 1949 taught at the Shanghai Conservatory and China Conservatory, where he subsequently became VicePresident. He wrote instrumental works and songs, and also books on music theory. Flute and Drum at Sunset is a piano improvisation based on an ancient melody for the Pipa, a popular Chinese folk music instrument. Li wrote this piano version in 1975. It is less fragmented than ancient works, emphasizing logical musical development instead. The pentatonic scale gives the music its traditional sound. (Pan Yang) Recorded and edited by Rodney Leinberger.
