Lisa Yi is a master of pipa (Chinese lute) and a Chinese greenhouse graduate in China. She composed and performed in Europe, Asia and the whole of the United States, and her performance was featured at the last Emperor of the Academy Award winning movie. Now, as one of the lead composers for the spectacular scale performance of the new Tang TV's Chinese New Year 's spectacular, traditional Chinese dance and song, Lisa

"From the perspective of ancient Chinese people, music is alive, as all single objects in the world have life. In fact, in Chinese, the notes are called" live notes " And she explains. But according to Lisa, it must be composed from the heart and must be played.

But the melody is far from random. Lisa's music is based on a series of pentatonic (5 NOTE) scales, like all traditionally composed Chinese music. This system is rooted in Taoism teaching that all substances are formed from five basic elements: metal, earth, tree, fire and water. It teaches that in order to be healthy, all these elements must be balanced. So from the Chinese perspective, songs and music pieces must also contain a uniquely crafted balance of these elements. There are also scales of 8 notes related to the Taoist symbols called Ekaku, most commonly known as the Feng Shui practice, is known in the West, or Feng Shui.

This example is a work she wrote for the dance "Dunhuang Dream". "This dance is backed by thousands of caves carved on the side of the cliff like the Moorg cave in the Dunhuang area of ​​China The god of Buddhism and Taoism sits in the mouth of each cave. As it appears, you can hear the voices of Erhu (Chinese violin) and guzhen (Zitar) from the pit of the orchestra, but these are soon cello, bass, oh finally the results are still firmly familiar pain I fall into the ear as a different world.

In fact, the specific Ya Yue Jing used in the score is seen in ancient biwa music written in scrolls discovered by archeologists in the actual Dunhuang cave a couple of years ago

"I feel deeply that music is the language of heaven, the language of God," Lisa says. "You can raise people's mind, which is good for the soul."
