"Guangxi Impression for Pipa and Orchestra" by Gao Hong
World Premiere Live Recording on February 5th, 2022 at Minnesota Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis, MN. Performed by Gao Hong on pipa with Minnesota Orchestra, Conductor, Junping Qian. Commissioned by Minnesota Orchestra.
Composer and performer Gao Hong took the stage with the Minnesota Orchestra for the world premiere of her new work, Guangxi Impression, Concerto for Pipa and Orchestra. The commission celebrates the province of Guangxi in southern China, which is made up of a rich diverse populations that includes 48 counties with 12 different ethnic groups.
This piece is in three movements: Dance of Tiaodan, Summer Cicadas and Celebrating the Harvest.
Dance of Tiaodan. “The first movement depicts Tiaodan people as they carry goods on their shoulders with bamboo sticks. The music describes the people as they work happily in the field. People one-by-one come from far away with the bamboo sticks on their shoulders, creating ‘biandan’ up and down movements which simulate dancing.
Summer Cicadas. “In Guangxi, the weather is very hot and the cicadas are very noisy. But in the Dong minority, the most famous song is inspired by the sounds of the cicadas. The music describes a hot summer day, with young men and women looking for lovers during work breaks in the field.
Celebrating the Harvest. “A plentiful harvest is cause to celebrate in Guangxi, and I depict this celebration with sounds of percussion bands and celebratory words near the movement’s end.”

Ms. Hong! You are the most inspiring musician in my life the last year! Best of luck and love to you ❤️
老师，您与赵晓霞老师的arc新专辑在哪个流媒体平台上可以听到呢？购买实体专辑有困难，想先在网络上听
Precioso❤
非常好聽，It ‘s so good
Muy hermoso ❤
Accomplished musicians.
好聽🎉謝謝您們😊
Ah! Our Tai Chi music!
節奏太快了.😢😢
有快, 有慢. 节奏适当.
自幼听此曲总有百次了，但只有用二胡琵琶演泽才能引发淚水。那是血中的民族情啊！
認同 精髄所在
说得好!!! 民族的血中情, 用大提琴琵琶演泽也能引发淚水.
@rayhchow 各有所好。但二胡有压鉉的技巧，是小提琴所无的。也是非常中国独有的。
太有意思了，中西结合。谢谢分享！
Love the musical brothers, pipa and sitar, dancing together.
Absolutely superb! Love and peace from Canada ❤️❤️
MUSIC IS LANGUAGE , WHICH EVERY HUMAN BEING UNDERSTANDS ..NICELY DONE !
Indeed! Thank you!
Que extraordinário!!!!!! Muito obrigada por esta bela harmonia❤ Beijos do Brasil😘

Loved this
Beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Une excellente découverte pour moi.
Thank you!
What a nice coincidence that the name of this song is Bafoulabé Malisadio, a legend about a celebrated hippopotamus with a white spot on its forehead. This beautiful legend happened in the Malian town that draws its name from the meeting of two rivers: ba(River)fila/fla(two)ben(meeting). Truly, on stage, we had the magic of two cultural rivers meeting. And it was memorable!
Thank you so much for this wonderful info!
Fantastic as usual!
I found this song on Spotify; it's called "Manida - The Storyteller's Song" -- but I like your title too. You certainly played like you were very familiar with it!
Thank you very much for letting me know the name and for your kind words!
