Asian Music


"Koto & Shakuhachi" is a beautiful Japanese song.  This song exemplifies the typical qualities of Asian music.  It is a peaceful song that speaks to the soul.  We also chose this song because it is a traditional song that represents the culture.  The beautiful scenery included in the video helps to visualize the culture.


"Chaoyuan ge (Chant de la cour)" by Chen Zhong is a traditional Chinese song. Zhong's song is a typical traditional Chinese song which is what drew us to the song.  Its melodious tune is enjoyable and easy to listen to.
