Chinese Ch'in (qin) Music/mp3s

I am going to collect a small sample of public-domain or donated Chinese Ch'in tunes, possibly including some historic melodies and put them up here in mp3 format: But first, Wang Fei has put up a page on her qin site with some pieces including both her and Professor Li Xiang-Ting. Please see:

• Wang Fei's Qin Music Site (files in real audio or video)
• Wu Jing-Lue, Yu-Qiao-Wen-Da (The fisherman woodcutter conversation) (mp3)
• Wu Jing-Lue, Pu An Jou (mp3)
• Wang Zhen-hua, Yu-Qiao-Wen-Da (from Qin-xue-ru-men), Taibei (my 1st teacher) (mp3)
• Wang Zhen-hua, Qui-qu-lai-ci (from Yan-yi-xi-qin-zhai-qin-pu), Taibei (mp3)
• Jim Binkley, (70s) Xiao-Xiang-Shwei-Yun (water/clouds over the Xiao/Xiang rivers) (mp3)

  The following is not a Ch'in melody, but a computer composition that borrows motif/themes from the previous Chinese Ch'in melody. It was composed and recorded approximately 1988 and released on a alternative label under the title "jade guitar".

• Dragons on the Mountain (mp3)
