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. 4. Autumn Night, the poem in Chinese and its English translation are shown below.

| 秋夕 (杜牧)
銀燭秋光冷畫屏，
輕羅小扇撲流螢。
天階夜色涼如水，
坐看牽牛織女星。
| Autumn Night (Du Mu, 803-852 AD, China)
Silvery candles project chill light on a screen pane.
The concubine catches fireflies with her little silk fan.
Marble stairs in the palace at night are as cold as rain.
Laying down, she fancies Libra and Lyra to join again.
