Hi guys,

Here an arrangement of a taiwanese folk song originating from the 1930s I did. Hope you like it! Comments are appreciated! :)

Very nice, Pier! That looks like a really sweet Goodall, too. Is "Embrace the Spring Breeze" an accurate translation of the song's name?

Hi Pier,
You mind if I ask what tuning you're in? Sounds really nice!

Thanks ScottAllyn and jay7347! The song's tuning is in DADGAD.
"Embrace the Spring Breeze" is a pretty good translation.. "Looking Towards the Spring Breeze" is more accurate but doesn't sound quite as nice ;).

That is beautiful, Pier.

Well played and a nice song selection. I would never have thought there were similarities between Taiwanese folk and american western folk. Interesting - and again - nice job!!

Thanks dberch and jacothedog! Actually I was trying to emulate the chinese gu zhen in the beginning of the song, not sure if I succeeded.. :D

Nice job, posted on your Youtube.

You coulld have told me that was an old West Virginia mountain lullabye, rather than a Taiwanese folk song, and I wouldn't have questioned it. Goes to show that the true international language is music!

Well done!

very nice =) and the musicality's awesome =)

guzheng.. forgot how that sounded like haha
