SHANG Yi: Bow Dance (TCCO)
Bow Dance is a part of the Dagger Society Suite, which was written for a dance drama that debuted in 1959 by the Shanghai Experimental Opera Troupe. This work comprises a combination of melodies that come from the Jiangnan’s folk music and local operas.

商易: 弓舞
《小刀會》為上海實驗歌劇院於1959年首演的民族舞劇，音樂素材大多取自戲曲和江南民間音樂，作曲家以主題貫穿和曲牌聯接相結合的手法，取得了鮮明的人物音樂形象和強烈的戲劇音樂色彩。
