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. 5. Docking Overnight by Maple Bridge, the poem in Chinese and its English translation are shown below.

| 風 橋夜泊 (張繼)
月落烏啼霜滿天，
江楓漁火對愁眠。
姑蘇城外寒山寺，
夜半鐘聲到客船。
| Docking Overnight by Maple Bridge (Zhang Ji, c.753 AD, China)
At moonset the crows caw through the frosty sky.
Unable to sleep, I watch maple trees by fishing light.
Outside Gusu, Cold Mountain Temple stands upright.
The sound of bells reaches my boat at midnight.
