Singing The Night Among Fishing Boats

6 minutes 44 seconds

A relaxing soundscape of peace and tranquility. From the album World on a String.

Based on an ancient melody, the origins of which are unknown, this song is most often a solo piece, played on a Chinese instrument called a zheng. It is performed here by Western violin, Chinese erhu and gaohu, harp, strings, and woodwinds. A descriptive piece, this song paints the image of returning fishing boats, their lights flickering and glowing on the waves of the twilight sea.
