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.

春
夜喜雨 (杜甫)
好雨知時節，
當春乃發生。
隨風潛入夜，
潤物細無聲。
野徑雲俱黑，
江船火獨明。
曉看紅濕處，
花重錦官城。

Welcome Rain in a Spring Night
(Du Fu, 712-770 AD, China)
Good rain is coming to our delight.
Its early-spring timing is perfectly right.
With wind it drifts in all through the night.
Silently it's drenching everything in sight.
Clouds and ranches are black without moonlight.
Riverboat torches project the only light.
The wet red patches in Chengdu's twilight
Are flower branches, heavier but bright.
