This song is titled Lotus that Forever Blossoms. It is inspired by a tragic romantic fable in Chinese culture. I chose this song because I thought it sounded pretty and I liked hearing the bamboo flute in class, so I wanted to hear more of it. The song starts with a man playing on the piano. At 17 seconds the flute comes in. In the video description, it says this instrument is called the Xiao. It is held the same way as a clarinet or recorder. It looks like it is played by blowing air across the mouthpiece the same way you’d play a flute. The song is slower paced. The song is about five minutes long. It sounds kind of sad. The man on the piano is wearing a white button-down with a suit vest and a bow tie. The man playing the Xiao is wearing all black except the cuffs of his sleeves are red and there is a design that looks like a dragon on the front of his shirt.
