Vietnam : Pièces de musique de chambre

Description

A set of chamber music pieces with refined melodies and delicate ornaments: string quartet music blending the timbres and sounds of different instruments, performed by musicians of the old generation, rich in profound poetry.
After undergoing numerous cultural influences related to its geography, traditional Vietnamese music is a music of movement, an art of abundant variation where dynamism appears as a permanent characteristic. Each composition is played from memory and improvisation appears as one of the main manifestations of musical creation. When the melodic framework is fixed in memory, it is possible to engage in variations of extreme complexity and the greatest boldness.

Ba Tu: dàn nguyêt (moon-shaped lute)
