The Butterfly Lovers, or The Butterfly Lovers' Violin Concerto, is one of the most famous works of Chinese music and certainly one of the most famous music outside of China. It is an orchestral adaptation of an ancient legend, the Butterfly Lovers. Written for the western style orchestra, it features a solo violin played using some Chinese techniques.
Traditional Chinese composers often write in a different tonal system than western classical music. As a result, this can make the music sound constantly out of tune to some Western ears. The Butterfly Lovers' Violin Concerto is written in traditional 5-note technique (pentatonic scale), it uses many Chinese melodies, chord structures and patterns. And it was written in 1959 by two Chinese composers, Chen Gang (陈钢, born 1935) and He Zhanhao (何占豪, born 1933), while they were students at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.
