Subject: RE: Does anyone know any Chinese folk songs?
There is a beautiful Chinese folk song called "The Nightengale"...absolutely gorgeous. Puccini used it in his opera (my personal fav) "Turandot", it appears several times, but as the chorus "Perche Tarda Le Luna?" in the first act, it appears in it's entirety. I can make you a midi or ABC of it if you want. Only I'm not sure if it has words. BTW anything that is remotely associated with the erhu RULES!!!
