The "Dance of the Siberian Crane" 《白鹤之舞》 was inspired by my visit to Poyang Lake in Jiangxi Province, China. It is the largest fresh water lake in China, and is the winter home for the Siberian Crane, which migrates back to Siberia during the Summer. It is an endangered bird, with less than 2,000 still in existence. The audio recording is 6.3mb. (Caution: the video with score file is 390mb!)
