Tibetan music experienced through a symphony orchestra that combines both classical music and Eastern instruments. Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra performs Snow-Capped Celebration in a live concert at Boston Symphony Hall in 2015.
Snow-Capped Celebration
Conducted by Milen Nachev
Composed by Jing Xian
A tribute to resilience and good cheer, this piece takes its inspiration from the “roof of the world”—the Himalayas—and Tibetan culture. Cellos and erhu open the piece, blending smoothness and flexible strength while maintaining a carefree character. The faster section contains a buoyantly rhythmic motif, meant to conjure images of light foot tapping and the springing jumps of people dancing. Just as the music crests, the long dung-chen horn, imitated here by the trombone, calls the dancing to a stop. After a brief repose and a lilting solo by the erhu, the spirited celebration resumes.
Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra blends the spirit of Chinese music with the power of a Western orchestra. All-original compositions draw upon five millennia of culture and legends. Western strings, percussion, woodwinds, and brass accentuate the sound of ancient Chinese instruments—like the two-stringed erhu and the plucked pipa. Never before have the exquisite beauty of Chinese melodies and the grandeur of a Western symphony been so seamlessly combined.
