The song that I chose for my song share assignment is Beyond the Great Wall, written by Lin Shicheng in 2006. This song Is classified as Chinese folk music. In this song we hear the Pipa, it is a necked bowl lute. Lin Shicheng was born in Shanghai and is also a doctor of Chinese medicine. He is one of the greatest players of the Pipa in the world and he has taught many students around the world. Throughout this nearly seven minute song we can hear the instrument being plucked mostly but we do hear some strumming occur.  This song has a very calm feeling. We can compare this to some of our inclass songs, and it can be reasonably concluded that the purpose of this song could be for meditation. The tempo of this piece remains consistent throughout the performance. I really enjoyed this relaxing performance and I would recommend others listen to the piece to aid in meditation.
