Happy Friday everyone,
Thank you for subscribing to Wu Fei’s Music Daily. This is episode #450 — B minor 181 毕家一百十八拍.
This guzheng piece was composed and recorded yesterday, performed by me. The inspiration came from Masada. In Hebrew is מצדה metsada, — "fortress". Masada is an ancient fortification on top of an isolated rock plateau on the eastern edge of the Judaean Desert, overlooking the Dead Sea 20 km (12 mi) east of Arad.
According to Josephus, the siege of Masada by Roman troops from 73 to 74 CE, at the end of the First Jewish–Roman War, ended in the mass suicide of 960 Jewish rebels who were hiding there.
181 in the title = 181 beats per minute, which was the tempo I played this piece. It was quite an exercise for my fingers!
Wishing you all a restful and energetic weekend!
