Empty City 空城

Empty City 空城 by Huang Xunfang 黄汛舫
Empty City is written for the Song Dynasty (960-1279) Dasheng bronze bells 大晟钟 and two pianos. The first half of the composition incorporates the Song Dynasty piece "Yangzhou Man" 扬州慢 by Jiang Kui (1155-1221), a traditional song of mourning. This work’s ritual spirit and daunting silence echo the emptiness of an abandoned city.
Jin Di and Zhao Yang, Piano
Zhang Mengying, Han Xintao, Wang Haitang, Yi Jiawen, Luo Liuyun, Bells
