Jiaoyue Lyu performs “Returning After Resigning”. Filmed in The Astor Chinese Garden Court, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, April 13, 2016
This profound piece of music is essentially based on the famed literary masterpiece of the same name by Tao Yuanming during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It depicts his life of seclusion in the country following resignation. He subtly reveals the shortcomings of his career as an official and displays his life-long philosophy of accepting nature’s course and being content with his own life and circumstances.
Jiaoyue Lyu’s guqin is hand-crafted by Ni Shiyun in Jiangsu Province, China.
