Song of Cicada
Just imagine,
You are all alone, walking into a misty forest.
It's an early morning.
As you walk, the mist (cello) touches your face gently.
You hear birds' singing (percussion and YQ) in harmony.
It's an early and peaceful morning.
As you continue to walk, an unique squeeching sound catches your attention.
It's the Cicada! (sheng)
They are announcing the beginning of a new day.
It's an early, peaceful and pleasant morning.
Birds are singing (plucked) and the wind is blowing in your direction (dizi and erhu).
You feel refreshed.
It's an early, peaceful, pleasant and refreshing morning.
Very soon, the afternoon sun came.
The cicadas become active and is buzzing with energy!
There's hope and joy in every sound they make (dizi).
Yes, that's right. Hope and Joy!
The song ends with the sound of the cicada: di di di! (everyone)
Maynot be accurate, but hope it helps you to imagine an play with more expression and feeling! you can do it!
