{"product_id":"dame-wang-and-other-chinese-keith-robinson-9780244743307","title":"Dame Wang and Other Chinese Folk Songs","description":"In 1872 George Carter Stent published five Chinese folk tunes with the melody and lyrics in an article called \" Chinese Lyrics\" . I think they are quite significant examples of a genre of Chinese folk song that is now less popular. With the help of Wang lingli 王玲利 we have translated the traditional Chinese into Simplified Chinese and provided fresh English translations. I have created new original piano accompaniments for each song. My aim is to try and make the melodies more accessible to western audiences and singers. The songs are published in Chinese with the pinyin above. In addition there is a complete version of the Chinese lyrics with tones and pinyin and an English translation to explain what each song is about. My dream is that one day I will go to a song recital and hear Chinese songs sung in Chinese, just as we listen to Schubert's lieder sung in German, or Faure songs sung in French, and it will seem completely normal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keith Robinson,Wang Lingli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0244743304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780244743307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.30d","brand":"Keith Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443320697087,"sku":"9780244743307","price":20.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ada6a1c1-16ff-445c-b28f-147781029664.jpg?v=1777204720","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dame-wang-and-other-chinese-keith-robinson-9780244743307","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
