Dear friends, hello! I'm Zhang Wenhao, a Chinese singer-songwriter. Today, I'm here to share with you a Chinese-style pop love song called "Medicine and Grain Porridge". This song tells the story of a young monk who gets injured while collecting herbs outside the temple and is saved by a tea-picking girl. Later, he falls in love with the girl, but their love is doomed to have no result. There are many regrets in love, and eventually, one has to learn to let go. But it's already precious enough to have met someone. 亲爱的朋友们，大家好！我是来自中国的创作歌手张文灏。这次来跟大家分享的是一首中国风流行情歌，名字叫《药膳粥》。 这首歌曲讲的是一名小和尚出寺采药不慎受伤，被一名采茶女所救，而后对女孩动了凡心，但注定没有结果的爱情故事。爱情中有很多的遗憾，终究要学会释怀，但有些人遇见已经足够珍贵了。 歌词如下/The lyrics are as follows： 作曲/Composed by：张文灏 Zhang Wenhao 作词/Lyrics by：张文灏 Zhang Wenhao 住持心系民疾 广施福泽 僧众出寺采药调配药膳粥 山崖间的薄荷 剩下一棵 我摘取之后失足踩空跌落 醒来身处茶庐 寻声庭中 红衫的你在院落轻哼茶歌 你闻声止歌回眸 脸带羞涩 我罹患上名叫凡心的病魔 红尘里的你 青灯下的我 相识那一刻 就奠定好错过 你身在俗世 我心向禅佛 木鱼经声婆娑 轻诵着奈何 他日再晤面 小僧行礼说 一句女施主 添了愁忖几多 你浅笑细语 我佛珠慢拨 满卷情思都流作清水一钵 丝丝药香弥漫 你的四周 药引是我一抹隐隐的不舍 你捧粥予我喝 伤口愈合 心头却更难耐凡俗的折磨 休养半月余久 带着情愫 我挥手与你作别回到寺阁 持斋诵经敲钟 每日依旧 脑中却常有你嫣然的酒窝 红尘里的你 青灯下的我 相识那一刻 就奠定好错过 你身在俗世 我心向禅佛 木鱼经声婆娑 轻诵着奈何 他日再晤面 小僧行礼说 一句女施主 添了愁忖几多 你浅笑细语 我佛珠慢拨 满卷情思都流作清水一钵 红尘里的你 青灯下的我 相识那一刻 就奠定好错过 你身在俗世 我心向禅佛 木鱼经声婆娑 轻诵着奈何 他日再晤面 小僧行礼说 一句女施主 添了愁忖几多 你浅笑细语 我佛珠慢拨 满卷情思都流作清水一钵 从此山水相隔 翻作过客

Hey, how is everyone doing? Long time since I posted something here. (Also damn, this is my 200th post on this forum!) This time I bring you the result of a pretty interesting art trade I did where I had to compose a piece in a medieval style. Here you have the link: You have a commentary of the piece in the description of the video, and if you have any doubts just leave a comment here. I would appreciate any feedback, I hope you will like it or find it interesting. 🙂 Shares are appreciated too! If you want the final score here you have the link to my upload to Musescore: https://musescore.com/user/31566834/scores/6866952

I'm composing this piece for a challenge where the challenge is to compose a romantic piece(romantic in the sense of love, not necessarily the era). What I think about when I think about romantic love is a complicated process that starts with sudden desire(pickup in momentum in the cello leading to harmonization in sixths is what I did to try to get that across), a friendly stage with exchanges, a lot like a friendship but deeper(this is what I'm at now in my piece, an exchange of 2 motives between the flute's motive from the first theme and a second motive in the cello, like 2 people exchanging ideas and seemingly a state of agreement(acceleration towards the cadence in both motives)), a state of anger and not wanting to be with the other person, and a final calming realization phase when true love is reached. This fits well with Sonata Form and so my piece is probably going to end up in Sonata Form, just unconsciously, because of the associations with the start of a romantic relationship. And Flute and Cello are 2 of my favorite instruments. I can't say that I have a favorite woodwind though, they are all great, except maybe the Recorder. But the Cello is my favorite string instrument. Yes, I know, the flute motive slowly shifts across the beats of 4/4 in the first 10 bars. That metric shift just kind of naturally arised from me developing the motive into the flute dominant First Theme. I am stuck though at the cadence in the next 8 or 9 bars. It feels like the Cello wants to continue rising in pitch as does the Flute, as well as accelerate even further to the cadence. But I'm not sure what to do. It's mainly the Cello I am concerned about. It's approaching treble register pitch and the treble register is hard, even for an experienced cellist(Eb4 is not that far off from G4, the note at which I would consider possibly putting the cello in Treble Clef). Right away you might be like: to which I would be like: So, what do you think of my piece so far? Any advice regarding the acceleration to the cadence? Are the 32nds in the Cello motive too fast?

This is a song that I composed a while a go. The audio is live from a concert back in January. The poem is written by me and it's in spanish. Youtube: Tenor: Julio Cesar Betancourt Pianist: David Lopez
