Prog. notes: Do you not see the Yellow River come from the sky,
Rushing into the sea and ne'er come back?
Do you not see the mirrors bright in chambers high
Grieve o'er your snow-white hair though once it was silk-black?
When hopes are won, oh! drink your fill in high delight,
And never leave your wine-cup empty in moonlight!
Heaven has made us talents, we're not made in vain.
A thousand gold coins spent, more will turn up again.
Kill a cow, cook a sheep and let us merry be,
And drink three hundred cupfuls of wine in high glee!
Dear friends of mine,
Cheer up, cheer up!
I invite you to wine.
Do not put down your cup!
将进酒》是⼀⾸为女⾼⾳⽽作的古诗词作品，器乐部分由⺠乐队于管弦
乐队组成，结构是a-b-c，其中c部分的主题是由a部分演变⽽成的材
料。引⼦部分，⽤以咏叹的⽅式呈现。abc之间的对比，好像是古代宫
廷乐与⽤于军营表演乐之间的场景切换，片段的进⾏，也表现出了唐代
诗词歌赋的繁华。
"Invitation of wine" is an ancient poetry work written for soprano. The
instrumental music part is composed of folk band and orchestra, and
the structure is A-B-C. The theme of part C is the material evolved
from part A. The introduction, in the form of a chant. The contrast
between ABC seems to be a scene switch between the ancient court
music and the music used for military performance. The progress of
the fragment also shows the prosperity of poetry and songs in the
Tang Dynasty.
