Description
Performed by ABRSM examiner Gary Ryan, this arrangement of Jasmine Flower is from the ABRSM Guitar syllabus and features in the Guitar Exam Pieces book at Grade 1.
Jasmine Flower is a popular Chinese folk song, often performed on major public occasions such as the 2008 Beijing Olympics Games. The words praise the fragile beauty of the flower. The melody, in the typically pentatonic (five-note) scale, was first printed in a Western book in 1804. Giacomo Puccini used it extensively in his last opera, Tuandot (1926), which is set in Beijing.
