Twelve member concert group at the Hubei Provincial Museum. The concert is given using reproduction instruments from the tomb of Marquise Li, interred ca. 438 BCE during the Warring States Period. Not only the instruments, but also scores for the music played comes from this site. Ancient "long sleve" dancing was demonstrated.
The concert bell set is unique in that unlike most five tone Chinese bell sets it is capable of playing seven tone western music - "Ode to Joy" from Beethoven's ninth symphony was played by this group.
The grave goods found here were truly fit for a king, given to the Marquise by a neigboring ruler of higher rank who was given shelter by M. Li during wartime. After recovering his territory the king gave these gifts to Li. While a marquise would normally rank to have goods in multiples of seven (as for example, a set of seven matching bronze pots), these goods are in multiples of nine, a number that would later be reserved exclusively for the King of all China (the Emperor).
