Documentation of Product
For my senior project, I focused on exploring Chinese traditional music and introduced it through my instrument Guzheng. As for my product, I performed Chinese music pieces during my Guzheng recital “The Sound of Tradition”. I played five pieces in total, including three traditional pieces which are “Fisherman’s song at the dusk”, “Fighting the Typhoon’’ and “The dance of the Yi tribe” as well as two rearranged modern pieces “Chrysanthemums terrace’’ and “Butterfly lovers’’.
