Mongolian Legendary Hero Represented by Epic Music

Legendary Genghis Khan, with his political strategies, brought the disintegration in Mongolia to an end. Inspired by this grandiose history, Dr. Tang Jian-ping, the first music talent trained entirely in China to receive a doctorate degree in composition, creates a symphonic portrayal full of Mongolian flavors, Genghis Khan, in 2007. Employing a complicated but sophisticated musical structure and authentic musical techniques from the Mongolian ethnic music, Tang presents the unique lifestyle of Mongolians in the prairie and dessert, where the people live in harmony with the Nature. Featuring a cast of 200 people, including a chorus singing the Mongolian hoomii, chor, urtiin duu (long song), and uligert duu (short song), ensembles playing sihu and morin-khuurs (Mongolian horsehead fiddles), as well as members from National Chinese Orchestra Taiwan, Taipei Philharmonic Chorus and Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, Genghis Khan promises a soundscape that is an impressive panorama and unfolds rhapsodically with all the expansiveness of the Mongolian grassland.
