'I. GuiShan Festival
The music depicts the joyous atmosphere when the Sani people of Shilin in Yunnan Province, China, celebrate their festivals. Sani people are descendant of the Yi nationality. The commonly used music instrument by the Sani is the three-string lute. The three strings are tuned to the pitches of C-E-G; thus, the melody of Sani's music is developed and expanded around these three notes.
II. Along the RuiLi River Shore
The scenery along the shores of RuiLi River is picturesque. The Dai people living along the shores are earnest and assiduous. The music depicts, on the way home after a day of diligent work, the Dai people singing their beautiful folk songs and dancing a joyous dance.
III. Music Heard through the Mist of Dawn
The Hani people of Yunnan province, China, live on top of the mountain that is filled with cascading terraces. They are well known for their love of dance and beautiful folk songs. The music portrays dawn, surrounded by the morning mist, and an old man sitting under a tree playing the "Za Bie." "Za Bie" is a vertical musical wind instrument made of bamboo mostly used by the Hani People. This piece is inspired by and derived from popular "Za Bie" music.
IV. LiSu Dance
The LiSu People of Yunnan Province, China, enjoy playing a small bamboo flute, popular within the region, while dancing to the melody. The piece depicts the mesmerizing atmosphere of a small group that has started the dance. The music leads to more and more people joining in to participate in this joyous gathering.' -
