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 preject 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.
