Musical Instruments

Guoyue

Guoyue (Chinese: 國樂; lit. 'national music'; also minyue (民乐), huayue (華樂) or zhongyue (中樂)), refers to the music composed for Chinese musical instruments, which is an extension of Chinese traditional music. It is often written for some form of grand presentation through a large Chinese orchestra, as well as performances with solo instruments. It is frequently broadcast on radio and television in the People's Republic of China, and it is also the primary form of Chinese music taught in conservatories in China, as well as in Taiwan and Singapore.
