HANGZHOU, China, March 26, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Hollywood film composer Mark Chait will embark on the journey "Searching for
Music along Poetry Road" in Zhejiang. This year, Chait will compose a symphony
based on the cultural landscapes on the four "Poetry Roads". As soon as the
song is released, musicians from around the world will collaborate in its
online performance.
The "Searching for Music along Poetry Road" project has been developed by the
Zhejiang Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism and is expected to last
nearly one year. During this period, Chait will travel through the four "Poetry
Roads", to gain knowledge of the profound Shangshan(10000-8400 years from now),
Kuahuqiao(8000-7000 years from now),Hemudu(7000-6000 years from now) and
Liangzhu(5300-4300 years from now) cultures. He will experience intangible
cultural heritages like the Southern and Yue Operas, celadon and tea, and
listen to the sound of waves on West Lake, and also the Qiantang and the Nanxi
Rivers. The inspiration gathered along the journey will be encapsulated in a
symphony titled "Picturesque Zhejiang". A documentary of the same name will
record Chait's course of finding inspiration.
As a winner of the prestigious Emmy Award and three-time Telly Award, Chait has
created many world-renowned compositions. The Power of One, the title song for
Warner Bros' Pokemon 2000, was a Billboard chart hit for eight weeks. Full of
expectations to create music that blends both Western and Chinese elements.
COVID-19 has led to the demise of face-to-face communication between countries.
However,according to Xu Peng, Deputy Director of the Zhejiang Provincial
Department of Culture and Tourism, the music could be considered a language
that knows no borders and has gone beyond any existing geographical
restrictions. This composition will help more people learn about China and
Zhejiang and subsequently make it their next travel destination.
The product of Chait's thoughts gained from his travels, comes in the form a
symphony specifically for Zhejiang, which will be presented to the world. At
that stage, Chait will perform the piece at Zhejiang's main venue. Famous
musicians will be invited to collaborate in the performance at venues in
Europe, North America, East Asia and Australia, offering an international
online music event to showcase Picturesque Zhejiang to the rest of the world.
