Wednesday, July 05, 2006 it has been a long time since anyone has been posting here....cos everyone is busy having their exams.........hope that everyone of us gets great results for our mid year examinations........jia you jia you!!!!!!! hrm think i continue from my last post ba...... eh basically most of the chinese orchestra instrument are made from wood and bamboo.....except for percussion instruments........and i heard that the strings are made from horse tails hair........and the skin of drum is made of skin of cow........ an orchestra is made up of four main big sections.....they are the chui, la, tan, da (吹拉弹打).......chui means wind blowing instruments......example like the flute and suona and etc......they produce high pitch sounds and imitate the sound of birds chirping......... la means using a bow and create friction with the strings to produce music.......example like the cello and erhu....they produce music that often creates a more moody atmostphere as they gives out low pitch sounds.....erhu is one of the most well known instrument known by the public.... tan means using our fingers and gets in contact with the instrument to produce more soothing music.....eh i oso duno how to describe leh..........duno how to use words to describe.......hrm some examples would be the pipa and ruan and YANGQIN..... lastly it is the da section......it is made up of percussion instruments....and they produce music that creates a more strong atmostphere....just like that of a battlefield..... all the four main sections are verrrrry important.....an orchestra would be imperfect without having any one of these sections....... hope this entry won't bored you.......and hope for those who were never interested in chinese orchestra to get some knowledge about how an orchestra works.......thats all for today.......hehe..... zHi YiN
