Conductor: Shing Tai Cheng

Ancient Tune: Arranged by Wen Jin Liu Yong Shan Zhao.
The piece " Ambush from Ten Sides " is based on the historic conflict between the Chu and Han Dynasties , depicting the decisive battle between Bang Liu and Yu Xiang at Gaixia. It is taken from a famous large scale pipa composition identically titled, which is a representative martial piece in Traditional Chinese instrumental music.In the ensemble arrangement by Wen Jin Liu and Yong Shan Zhao, the expressive techniques are enriched.
The composition opens with slow, accelerating drumbeats and plucked sounds.a motif repeated multiple times with relatively free rhythm to intensify the war atmosphere.
The middle section speeds up, heightening the tension and excitement of battle.
In the final section. the contrast between "Wujiang River" and "Victory Celebration" portrays Yu Xiang's tragic defeat at Gaixia, while commemorating Bang Liu's triumph in the Chu-Han war.
