In this episode, let’s celebrate both the legendary Tang court music and the spirit of Women’s Month. we visit the tale of Yang Yuhuan 楊玉環and Emperor Xuanzong 唐明皇through the masterpiece The Song of the Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Coat. 霓裳曲Far more than a romantic legend, their partnership reflects the flourishing of Tang music culture, supported by institutions such as the Imperial Music Bureau 教坊and the Pear Garden梨園. I would like to highlight 楊玉環's artistry as a pipa virtuoso and dancer, alongside唐明皇 Xuanzong’s role as composer. Complementing this, the Hearing the Muses series introduces works by female composers, including Li Hui’s Equinox Sound and Jiang Ying’s Silk Road. Together, these selections weave ancient grandeur with contemporary creativity, reminding us that music is both literature in sound and the living soul of culture.
