Brocade River Barcarole

from The Sichuan Project by Matteo

/

lyrics

The trolling boat that's floating me
In between the chicken streets
Cardboard caught in river weeds
The egrets watching civilly

The river moon, a ripple-ghost
Is one Li Bai can finally hold
He dives to grasp his misery
The egrets watching soberly

Qu Yuan makes a river bed
And pulls the river overhead
He hears the anxious paddle beats
The egrets watching silently

Catching trash in fishing nets
Buildings bowing overhead
The cityscape escaping me
The egrets watch indifferently

about

Matteo Salt Lake City, Utah

Drawing inspiration from rice paddies and mountains, this wholly American foursome has taken sino-american relations into their own hands and strings. Traditional Chinese instruments-- guzheng, zhongruan, liuqin, and erhu-- converse fluently with acoustic guitar, violin, and upright bass.
