Didn't think I'd do another tonight but can't seem to put this down.

(And unlike the homesick character here I've been home all day! Now to make some pea soup, woopwoop!)

Here's section 46, so sad and lovely.

Since I am enjoying Tu Fu so much may I also claim the next three?:

46 The River's Brim by Tu Fu
47 Homesickness by Tu Fu
48 T'ai Shan by Tu Fu

sacredsounds, I understand your desire, but we've set the selections to be read and heard separately. Maybe I was being pigheaded in this, but I thought the poems deserved their own space. Not at all- your wish is my command! And now the one are two! https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/gemsofchine...

I just went ahead and recorded the next two together since they're so short, hope that's OK! Sections 49 and 50: https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/gemsofchineseverse_49_50_various_128kb.mp3 1:13 How does this sound for an intro/outro combining the two? I can split them up if desired as well. Woo!...

May I also claim Sections
49: Duke Wu's Temple by Tu Fu &
50: The Music of the Spheres by Tu Fu ?

These two are quite short, may I record them back to back?

Cheerio!

178 is too low in volume, coming in at only 84.9 dB. Our target is 89 dB, with an acceptable range of 86-92 dB. As to the sound you hear in 178 -- I hear them too and I think they are what we call "mike bumps." Slightly bumping the microphone or something close to gives this kind of sound...

What irony, here I am praising the translation but I neglected to give the translator their due in the beginning of the recording. :roll: I'll do my best to record that bit/edit and reupload. Cheers! Here is the edit with the translator included: https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/gemsofchineseve...

They are clearly very artfully and beautifully translated, it must be quite a challenge to translate poetry.

may I also claim section 178-The Autumn Seen from Yoyang Tower by Chang Chun as well?

Yes, please. I love the project, too. It makes me feel young again as I found these poems at 17. But with a different translator. Yay! They are clearly very artfully and beautifully translated, it must be quite a challenge to translate poetry. That's so wonderful that this is a project dear to your...

Wow, I am in love with this project.

May I claim section 174 Tien Chu Temple by T'ao Han?

Thank you.

Here's my second entry!
