百鸟朝凤
ReplyDeleteSong of the Phoenix
The identity of the album that rocked the crazy Rotterdamers.
Clearly, it's deep.
The First to know
百鸟朝凤,A Hundred Cockatoo Facing the Phoenix: Chinese idiom, pinyin bǎi niǎo cháo fèng, means ‘a hundred birds facing the phoenix’, meaning that in the olden days it was a metaphor for a ruler who was wise and holy and the whole world was attached to him, and later it was also a metaphor for a person who was highly esteemed and had the highest popularity. The source is Taiping Yuban (太平御览).

The Music Two story have been introduced.In summary, the song has a folkloric basis, became popular in Opera and became the flowering of a modern Chinese classic music.
It was originally composed by folk music master Wei Ziyou [2], and is popular in Henan, Anhui, Shandong, Hebei and other places. Its predecessor is the accompaniment song in the Yu opera sedan chair, because the Yu opera is very popular, so the Hundred Birds Chaofeng is popular in Henan, Shandong, Hebei, Anhui, etc., also known as the Hundred Birds Sound, which is an excellent piece of music that fully demonstrates the charm of the suona art.

The Hundred Cockatoo Chaofeng first appeared in the Yu opera Carrying a Sedan Chair, and has been processed and adapted a number of times since the Hundred Birds Chaofeng was brought to the stage. It is popular in a wide range of regions, with different versions in Shandong, Anhui, Henan and Hebei. The music evokes people's love of nature and memories of labouring life with its enthusiastic and cheerful melody. In the music, one can hear the cries of cuckoos, partridges, swallows, mountain chirps, blue finches, paintbrushes, larks, blue waxbills, and other birds, as well as the crowing of roosters, which symbolises the vividness of the dying of the night and the rising of the sun.

Henk, I see what you mean about the 2nd. cut here. It IS spectacular! Sort of a cross between EARLY Pre- Mothers, Frank Zappa & The Fugs.

ReplyDeleteAfter two days of searching, I was at a loss.
I had overlooked that the band's name is marked on the back sleeve.
I'm going to have to start over.
