The Chinese bili flute, Korean hyeongeum zither and Japanese shamisen lute have come together to create a convivial scene in Music from the Tang Court, a new work composed by Ye Guohui.

Together with Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra, soloists from different countries premiered the work before delegates from all over the world, who were in Shanghai to attend the 42nd World Conference of the International Council for Traditional Music.

Using the melody of Wine-Puppet, a tune from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) that Ye recovered through his research of scores from different sources, Ye realized his dream of recreating ancient Chinese music.
