Beatrix Lehmann and Maurice Denham with Andree Melly and Allan McClelland in , THE REPAIR OF HEAVEN' by E. J. King Bull from ' The Dream of the Red Chamber ' by Tsaoh Hsueh-Chin and Kao Ngoh as translated from the Chinese by Chi-Chen Wang
Music composed and conducted by Peter Crossley-Holland
Production by E. J. King Bull with Felicity Askew , Diana Campbell and members of the BBC Drama Repertory Company
The Dream of the Red Chamber, the first Chinese novel [actually it's not], provides a vivid picture of aristocratic life during the flowering period of the eighteenth century, in the foreground of which unfolds the love story of Pao-Yu and Black Jade.
In writing the music the composer has made use of the Chinese five-note scale, using unusual combinations of woodwind and percussion to suggest features characteristic of oriental music.
