Static Sheet Music
Dynamic Sheet Music
As the core background music of the 2011 costume drama Princess of Destiny , Chu Jian(First Encounter) has become a classic in Chinese-language film and television music, thanks to its melodious bamboo flute and lingering pipa melodies. This pure instrumental piece composed by Hao Yigang, with its minimalist instrumental arrangement and profound emotional expression, perfectly interprets the tangled fates and tragic love of the characters in the drama, and is still revered by audiences as the "pinnacle of ancient-style background music" to this day.
First Encounter takes the bamboo flute as the lead instrument, supplemented by traditional Chinese instruments such as the pipa and guzheng, creating a distant and ethereal mood. The flute sounds, like sobbing and murmuring, are just like the tangled emotions of the female lead Ma Fuya (played by Ruby Lin); the delicate notes of the pipa, on the other hand, implicitly symbolize the treacherous and unpredictable power struggles. Notably, string instruments and drumbeats are incorporated in the climax of the piece, pushing the characters' inner struggles and sense of destiny to the extreme, which strongly echoes the theme of "if life were always as it was at the first encounter" in the drama.
This piece is in the key of
E♭major and can be played on aB♭-keybamboo flute with the fundamental tone tuned to2.
