Chinese Traditional Music 國樂

7 月15号我們去中正紀念堂听国乐音乐会。那个国乐乐团有差不多一百多位的演奏家。舞台的背面都是打击乐器，前面最靠近观众是指挥者，還有中間有很多人拉二胡和大提琴。在音乐会上，他们表演了差不多八首樂曲。最令人印象深刻的歌是他们休息之前的那一首樂曲。在演奏前幾首樂曲時，我就已经开始习惯了国乐的风格和樂音。但是，到樂曲的中間時,，觀眾席中有及個人忽然站起來,讓其他觀眾忍不住想:到底是怎麼會事?然後他们开始吹乌笛，整个包厢就充满了蝗虫的声音。我刚开始有一点困惑。后来我开始欣赏舞台上的乐团和观众席里的樂手共同演奏的音樂。

We went to watch a Chinese Traditional Music performance at Chiang-Kai Shek Memorial. Many big performances are held here, and a part of our ICLP program was to attend this program. My reflections can be found in the Chinese above, a cut-and-paste job from one of my assignments.



If you couldn't read the Chinese, musicians hiding in the audience stood up to play a flute-like instrument. It ended up creating an atmosphere that felt like there were hundreds of locusts in the concert hall.
