Grand Music of Tang is a suite of 24 classical guitar pieces, each of which was inspired by a specific poem from the Tang Dynasty of China (618-907 AD). This work was commissioned by Japanese classical guitarist Mr. Kazuhito Yamashita in 1999. For No. 3. Through Yangzi Gorges, the poem in Chinese and its English translation are shown below.

早發白帝城 (李白)

朝辭白帝彩雲間,
千里江陵一日還。
兩岸猿聲啼不盡,
輕舟己過萬重山。
復照青苔上。
Through Yangzi Gorges (Li Bai, 701-762 AD, China)

In Baidi City color clouds are swirling,     as I leave at dawn.
I'll cover hundreds miles to Jiangling     when the day is done.
Apes from both riverbanks screak      with echoes lingering on.
Through thousands mountain peaks      my light boat has gone.
