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. 7. Welcome Rain in a Spring Night, the poem in Chinese and its English translation are shown below.

宿 建德江 (孟浩然)

移舟泊煙渚,
日暮客愁新。
野曠天低樹,
江清月近人。
Mooring on Jiande River (Meng Hao-Ran, 689-740 AD, China)

My boat approaches a misty islet for mooring.
At sunset the nostalgic thought begins growing.
On open fields the sky on treetops seems so pressing.
Reflected from clear water, the moon is ever touching.
