IWOMAH? (DO YOU STILL LOVE ME?) Piano/Vocal by ROBERT VAN HORNE & HU XING - TING
6 pages
IWOMAH? (DO YOU STILL LOVE ME?) was initially composed and published as a piano solo back in 1993. Currently featured on Robert's album CHINA LOVE, this piece is available as an early and advanced intermediate piano solo for purchase on SHEET MUSIC PLUS and SHEET MUSIC DIRECT.
The term "IWOMAH?" spoken phonetically in Mandarin, with the appropriate accents, translates to "Do You Still Love Me?" I found this invented phrase to be a fitting title for this composition, as it captures the theme of love and the challenges lovers face in traditional Chinese songs.
In the early 2000s, Mr. Hu Xing-Ting , a well-known lyricist from Beijing, China, penned lyrics for IWOMAH? (DO YOU STILL LOVE ME?) as well as other tracks from CHINA LOVE. His visit to California in 2004, part of a cultural exchange program, provided an opportunity for me to meet him, a honor indeed.
Despite my lack of proficiency in Chinese, his lyrics are universally regarded as warm and profound.
The Piano/Vocal Sheet Music of IWOMAH? (DO YOU STILL LOVE ME?) includes a clearly notated piano accompaniment alongside vocal parts and chord symbols, offering comprehensive guidance for singers (proficient in Chinese characters) and pianists aiming for an expressive rendition.
IWOMAH? (DO YOU STILL LOVE ME?) is a beautifully melodic piece suitable for vocalists who give concerts and recitals, appealing even to those unfamiliar with Mandarin. Currently, there are no English lyrics to this piece. Originally in the key of E Flat, it boasts universal charm.
For those interested, a performance of Robert playing IWOMAH? (DO YOU STILL LOVE ME?) as a piano solo without vocals can be enjoyed on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgjmV4yl9zE
