Symphonic Poem “Ballad of the Pipa” 交響詩《琵琶行》
Narration by Dashan
Music by Kevin Zi-Xiao He
China National Ballet Orchestra
Conducted by Cui Linhan
This poem was composed in 816 by Bai Juyi, one of the greatest poets in Chinese history. The poem contains a description of a pipa performance during a chance encounter with a performer near present day Jiujiang, in Jiangxi Province. The poem has a total of 616 Chinese characters (not including the 138-character preface), and is known for the skilled artistry with which it describes sound.
Our concept for this production was to use the orchestra as a whole to convey the feeling expressed in the poem. There is no pipa to hear directly, you have to imagine the pipa based on the music as well as the narration, as we felt that was the best way to experience the poem. No individual pipa performance could live up to the magical experience described by Bai Juyi.

這首詩由中國歷史上最偉大的詩人之一白居易於公元816年創作。詩中描述了他在今江西省九江市附近偶然遇到一位琵琶演奏家時所見的琵琶演奏。全詩共616個漢字（不包括138個字的序），以其對聲音的熟練藝術性而聞名。
我們這次製作的理念是運用整個管弦樂團來傳達詩中所表達的情感。雖然沒有直接聽到琵琶的聲音，但你必須根據音樂和旁白來想像琵琶的演奏，我們認為這是體驗這首詩的最佳方式。任何一場琵琶演奏都無法達到白居易所描述的那種神奇體驗。
