Brendan Power - BUTTERFLY LOVERS (梁祝) - AsiaBend Harmonica

This famous Chinese folk tale was set to music by He Zhanhao and Chen Gang in 1958, and their expressive melody has become a modern classic. I play it in a style inspired by the Erhu.

Worth mentioning: this is a special type of harmonica which Mr. Power invented.

One of several, at that. I'd be thrilled if I could invent or play as well as Brendan, and yet he manages to do both!

Beautifully played sir ❤

Rlly beautiful! I wanna learn how to play the harmonica like that. Any good advice? What harmonica should I buy?

[@deservenakdfluxit3653]

Hi, Mr. Brendan. I'm a Chinese, the song "BUTTERFLY LOVERS" is a famous chinese traditional music and I really love it. The way you played the music is very different from whatt I heard before that is played by violin(the traditional version). It's interesting, however, I still love the traditional version because I think the traditional version can express the love of a couple more expressively.

Thanks for your comment. Instead of violin, I was aiming to get a sound like the Erhu, an instrument I love. I hope that helps explain the approach 🙂

Absolutely beautiful Brendan!

[@BrendanPowerMusic]

Ta Slim, glad you like it! Love to you and Penny 🙂

[@FlorenceGacoinMarks]

Wonderful! Of course, I know that it is a special instrument, but the rendition of ornamentation is absolutely perfect, erhu-like. So amazing ! Congrats!
