Timeless Songs of Melancholy from the Chinese Theater
In 2008, a new art form, celebrating the fusion of China's rich traditions of theater and narrative arts deftly combined with the traditions of the western European orchestral lied, was born. Described by distinguished opera composer Meng Qinghua as "Ling Ge" (Literally, "clever songs" or "songs of actors and actresses"), Meng combined poetry, drama, recitation and music into a stunning new expression of cross-cultural beauty. His captivating musical experiment appeared on the Rhymoi recording, Song of Songs.
