After the flood, a new pavilion faces a gap in the hills. Two cranes give the day a departure and a return.

Let the cranes fly; leave the heart some space.

Creative direction: classical-text song · three-beat motion and open repliesWhat do these music words mean? ↓

A half-flooded doorway opens into changing trees, snow, moonlight and weather. Flight does not erase ordinary companionship: the cranes return, and people meet at the pavilion. Hold freedom of movement beside the evening homecoming rather than reducing the passage to escape.

The brief proposes a light three-beat grouping, sparse guqin and answering dizi. Three beats do not mean three syllables per line: follow a steady pulse beneath changing sentence lengths. The requested 90 BPM is not a measurement of this recording.

Read the lyrics
熙寧十年秋,彭城大水。 雲龍山人張君之草堂,水及其半扉。 明年春,水落,遷於故居之東、東山之麓。 升高而望,得異境焉,作亭於其上。 彭城之山,岡嶺四合,隱然如大環,獨缺其西一面,而山人之亭,適當其缺。 春夏之交,草木際天,秋冬雪月,千里一色,風雨晦明之間,俯仰百變。 山人有二鶴,甚馴而善飛,旦則望西山之缺而放焉,縱其所如,或立於陂田,或翔於雲表,暮則傃東山而歸,故名之曰「放鶴亭」。 郡守蘇軾,時從賓佐僚吏往見山人,飲酒於斯亭而樂之。 挹山人而告之,曰:「子知隱居之樂乎? 雖南面之君,未可與易也。 《易》曰:『鳴鶴在陰,其子和之。』 《詩》曰:『鶴鳴於九皋,聲聞於天。』 蓋其爲物清遠閑放,超然於塵埃之外,故《易》、《詩》人以比賢人君子。
