History of "Dance of Yao People" Inspired by the folk songs of Yao people, Liu Tieshan composed Long Drum Dance of the Yao People during a visit to Youling village, Sanpai town, Liannan Yao Autonomous County, Qingyuan, northern Guangdong province, southern China in 1951. Mao Yuan, another composer, adapted this piece into an orchestral work in 1952. In the late 20th century, the song was used as the basis for several pop songs, in both China and the United States. The first 18 notes of the 1998 song "When You Believe," as recorded by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, are based on "Dance of the Yao People," although the Chinese composers of the original work were not credited.
What is crazy is not that the composer of Prince of Egypt (Hans Zimmer) used 瑶族舞曲, it is that he borrowed a CHINESE melody for an animation called Prince of EGYPT. If the movie was even remotely about China, it would have been fine.
"It was composed collaboratively by Liu Tieshan (刘铁山) and Mao Yuan (茅沅) in 1952, inspired by the long drum dance (瑶族长鼓舞歌), a form of traditional festival music of the Yao people of southern and southwest China. It was premiered in Beijing in 1953." "The first 18 notes of the 1998 song "When You Believe," as recorded by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, are based on "Dance of the Yao People," although the Chinese composers of the original work were not credited." - Wiki
HAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE MUSIC FROM THE C64 GAME "the exploding fist" i cant belive it! i like this tune since i was 3 years old with a commodore 64 ! Thank you for having this kind of music on youtube!

Nice folk tune, with ethnic Chinese intonation. Ha, caught an issue - at the 3-minute mark, editing/splicing boo-boo, a note not in the composition I bet was there.
I still remember in the 80s when I was learning Erhu. My teacher used to play this song when I was so impressed that I try to imitate as a beginner. 8 years later, I joined a local Chinese Orchestra and have a chance to take part in playing (as Gaohu) the version you are hearing. I was so glad and thrilled. Thank you for the composer. You've inspired me for my interests in Chinese music for the past 25 years.
The orchestra really brought out the spirit of the song, though it was played slower than the version our school played. AHHH when can we ever play the song so well? *_*
"oh my god the first part of this song is also the first 18 notes of the song When You Believe by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston and???who copied????hahahaha
@m00nk00ki3, We should say the reverse, 'Prince of Egypt' is a lot like this song. This is because when this song was composed, many other nations are still wearing banana leaves covering their body..
I love 瑶族舞曲!! One of the song i love best in Chinese Orchestra~ Had the conductor score and it's really a good arrangement.. Heeez.. Can hear the Sheng very clearly during their solo too~~ ^-^/

Heeey! The Prince of Egypt stole this masterpiece and I love this so much more! Thank you so much China!

幼儿园的磁带里最爱的一首曲子，长大后一直在反复回忆曲名，直到刚刚在睡梦中想起来，现在是英国凌晨一点半，我也从幼儿园小朋友变成一个研究生了。来英国三年了，无时无刻不在回味这些民族精髓。
祝愿学成归来，报孝祖国，忽忘祖根。
As a Chinese girl who has studied guzheng for five years,I'm really proud of our instruments and music.
The song was created in 1952 first time. and you can check it.
瑶族是中国西南少数民族.音樂却有濃厚的中国風,还带有一絲神祕感,旋律流暢
这是最美的中乐，这首曲的旋律美得不可以形容，简直是一流享受！
笛子妹妹如仙人般的容貌和气质，而且是第一把笛子。赞！
曾格格，在竹器里面属于大家。
国家队，曾格格
86年拍的现在该叫奶妈了
很有民族特色的浪漫曲🙏🎉👏🏻

HAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS THE MUSIC FROM THE C64 GAME "the exploding fist"
i cant belive it!
i like this tune since i was 3 years old with a commodore 64 !
Thank you for having this kind of music on youtube!
Around 2:15 - that is one of the common "fight" songs in Way of the Exploding Fist on the C64.
( th-cam.com/video/OxHNyZs1gvI/w-d-xo.html )
Correct the first time I heard this was on the Commodore 64 back in 1985 and it is brilliant the original music is from 1952 just a great tune
民族管弦乐奏妙音，
《瑶族舞曲》优雅动听，
各种乐器特色莫名，
巧妙联合养性怡情，
有缘观赏毕生幸运，
网主上载掌声不停。
One of the most beautiful, emotional songs ever composed!
今年第一次在国外过年，在丹麦听了1998年这一系列的演出，居然没把泪憋住
已故的彭修文先生也好、陳變陽先生也好，都好指揮家
Hearing this makes me cry with happiness. Beautifully well done!
柳琴的声响 令我想起 那些年，我们练习到快手断的日子 XD
怀念啊！
漂亮的笛子姐姐名字叫曾格格，她的銷魂眼睛把我的靈魂都勾了去。
她吹奏技术太厉害了，我之前有过一次抹口红吹笛子的经历，真的很难控制
有那麼誇張嗎 覺得還好
2:14 & 5:50 *_The Way of the Exploding Fist_* (C=64)

當我聽到這瑤族舞曲時會回想年青時的開心。
何度聴いても素晴らしい演奏ですね
"When You Believe" 's Original version
I can see a Chinese ballerina on stage dancing to this. With her fan it's beautiful music
Nice folk tune, with ethnic Chinese intonation. Ha, caught an issue - at the 3-minute mark, editing/splicing boo-boo, a note not in the composition I bet was there.
听出耳油 ，赞！
Beautiful music.
I hope to hear more this kind of orchestra work.
Thank you for sharing.
仙樂飄飄處處聞；向傳播中華文化的樂手們致最高敬禮！
.😊
Wonderfully conducted.
Touching, dynamics wise and skill...what else can one expect from a national level orchestra.
國樂瑤族舞曲相當優美，回想當年排此舞情景。
The conductor is very confident and the music is great.

超正。。開頭好感人。。後來好激昂！Really love it!
no doubt, this is one of the best of MODERN CLASSICS in my life time and will be a TRUE CLASSIC in future generations.
最喜欢这个版本的瑶族舞曲
this piece is so emotionally beautiful
This is also very beautiful played just on yangqin with frame drum.
Orientalische träumerische Zauberklänge ! Viele respektvolle liebe Grüsse aus Österreich!
This music is amazing, the best version for me, it inspires me very much ¡¡ I love it ¡¡
Reminded me during high school in Chinese Orchestral..such a nolstalgic music
Watched the one with westeen instruments, very nice. But nothing beats the version with chinese instruments.
良い曲ですね～紅河思い出します。
是
I miss this song so much.
The orchestra really brought out the spirit of the song, though it was played slower than the version our school played.
AHHH when can we ever play the song so well? *_*
氣節唯美的
The rthymn is so beautiful. It makes me feel landing in a fairy land.
Romantic tune!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sooo beautiful 😍
it is originally composed for the symphony orchestra, but of course there are many other versions of it arranged for different instruments.
So serene & calming can imagine almost anything!
十分喜欢看吹箫的黄衣女子,看着她使人十分欢畅和平和,很迷人的纯洁!
开头优美，结尾激昂！ I really love it!
OOOOOOOOOO BELLISIMO SUUUUUUUUUPER HERMOSO
@Lyunz93 it's called 革胡(Gé hú)
some professional band will use this intrument, others will use Cello instead
@Lyunz93 its a laruan, most orchestra uses cello, thats why its not commonly known.
Bellissima musica del grande popolo cinese.Popolo di antica cultura.
王老師也是一絕。怎麼都只拍美女呢。
This song is my favourite Chinese song and a I love the instruments and I am in Macau a Filipino look like a Chinese and I school in a luso school!

Splendida musica dell'antico popolo cinese,ricco di storia e di cultura!
Fantastic and awesome moments to relax with the good music for our ears
@godwatelsecani
这首曲子是很婉转的，东方文化大概也是以润物细如声为长吧。btw,《赛马》这首曲子气势还挺磅礴的。
吹笛子那个美女是曾格格。
Beautiful
Wow! This is really great! Even their conductor conducts with much style!
"oh my god the first part of this song is also the first 18 notes of the song When You Believe by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston

roderickingermany this song was composed 60 years ago.
google it
@hacona Absolutely! Many of the musicians are maestros!
Wonderful...........
好有味道啊!
听国乐，看指挥的发型，不错
thank you uploading this beautiful music.
Yes i agree with you. However, it's not composed for the Chinese orchestra originally, but for the symphony orchestra.
瑤族的智慧。
The laruan is like a substitute for the cello, used in some Chinese orchestras. You can see a few of them in this video.
SPECTACULAR!
百聽不厭
胡琴第二排第一位戴眼鏡的男生好cute
好懷念這首曲子，還有國中時和大家一起鍊國樂的時光！
演奏的十分棒，就是服装不可描述
你觉得应该穿啥？
@@sunkai8845 女装不要全身黄袍，而且是亮色的黄，太砸眼了。

弹琵琶的杨静，魅力不在笛子姐之下啊。

瑤族舞曲
維基百科，自由的百科全書
《瑤族舞曲》原為劉鐵山、茅沅創作的西洋管弦樂曲，描繪瑤族慶祝節日時的歌舞場面。1954年彭修文將其改編為民族管弦樂曲。突出了民族樂器的音色與性能，善用同組樂器的不同音色組合。1957年尹其穎將其改編為箏曲。
