Er Nie - Dance of the Golden Snake (1934)

Chinese composer Nie Er's "Dance of the Golden Snake" ("金蛇狂舞") is a short work written for traditional Chinese orchestra, intended for the Bai Dai Orchestra in particular. The piece is, according to certain sources, a variation arranged from a traditional piece called "Yang Ba Qu".
Nie Er (born Shouxin Nie) was a composer born in the Yunnan province of China. He was brought up with traditional Chinese instruments, but later moved on to learn Western music. From a young age, Nie showed a precocious talent for music as well as an ability to move his ears, and as a result, he received the nickname "Er", which means "ear" in Mandarin Chinese. Nie loved the name so much that he eventually adopted it as his official name. Although Nie suddenly drowned at the young age of 23 while in Japan, he is nonetheless remembered in history as the composer of the national anthem of the People's Republic of China.
