Scented Maid

A wonderful collection of Chinese melodies played by Guo Gan on his Chinese violin or fiddle known as "ehru." The melodies are mostly from early to mid-20th & reflect the influences from Tajiks to Mongols and Cantonese.

Try 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 100

1. Soothing melody.
2. Showcases the deeper tones of the fiddle.
Slow & mid-tempo.
3. Gentle melody about a beautiful night.
Soothing.
4. Mongolian inspired tune meant to evoke
an equestrian event. Upbeat & fast in parts.
5. Peaceful, pleasant tune that wants you to sit
out by the lake & look at the moon. That is the title
of this track - Reflections of the moon on Erquan.
6. A famous "erhu" solo that captures sounds of birds
& mountains.
7. Solemn. Slow. Quiet.
8. Wonderful track that goes from slow to mid-tempo.
9. Scented Maiden is the name of this track.
Slow. Thoughtful. Melodic.
10. Aptly named tune "Shanghai Taverns," that captures
the warmth & happiness of small eating joints.
