Bach: Bourree in e-minor by Per-Olov Kindgren
Lagrima – Francisco Tarrega
Lagrima should be played with a lot of feeling. It is of moderate difficulty, but should be very attainable if one pays close attention to the fingerings of the left hand. The repeated open B should be subdued, allowing the beautiful melody to ring through. On the repeats try to change the dynamics a little. Rolling the double stops, (two note chords), here and there, will add character as well.
I found these 2 videos from Youtube, explaining both Right hand and Left hand technique for Lagrima.

The Dance of Yi People - 彝族舞曲
Dance of the Yi People, sometimes also called Dance of the Yi Tribe or Yi Dance is one of the most popular solo compositions for the pipa, a four-stringed pear-shaped fretted lute used as one of the primary traditional musical instruments of China. Unlike the martial-sounding Ambushed From All Sides, the other most widely performed solo pipa piece, Dance of the Yi People is predominantly lyrical in character.
Dance of the Yi People was composed in 1960 by the Chinese composer Wang Huiran, presumably based on traditional music of the Yi people of southern China.
I put 2 versions here, one is performed by XueFei Yang and one by 殷飚.
China Folk Song: Feng Yang Flower Drum 鳳陽花鼓
Fengyang Flower Drum is also called Double-struck Drum. It was originally performed by two sisters-in-law. One beat the drum; the other beat the gong and sang. The songs were about people's sad life in the past. Since the open and reform of China, the form and contents of this art have got a great development.
It mainly serves for enjoyment. In the past, there were only two persons acting antiphonal singing. However, song, dance and opera have been developed combined together later on. In nowadays, there are two people acting singing and dancing, people leading singing and dancing and a group of people singing and dancing together.
The singing is more popular both in urban areas and countryside. Fengyang people often perform this art enthusiastically to celebrate their happy events or to welcome their guests. Modern skills have been absorbed into the art.
With its local flavor and more varieties, Fengyang Flower-drum is becoming more and more popular. In recent years, the troupes have performed both at home and abroad and won many prizes.

Ambushed From All Sides (Shi Mian Mai Fu) 十面埋伏
Shi Mian Mai Fu (Ambushed From All Sides) is a famous ancient Pipa (lute) score of China, which is always played on concerts. A foreigner is as familiar with it just as a Chinese with the Blue Danube.
Shi Mian Mai Fu pictured the battlefield of the ancient war in China. Its boldness and majesty has attracted lots of people. How amazing it is to demonstrate such a vivid picture by Pipa merely with four strings!
Shi Mian Mai Fu tells people the whole process of the battle.
The decisive battle of Gaixia was a well-known battle in the Chinese history. As soon as the regime the Qin Dynasty (221-206BC) was overthrown, fierce battle for the crown began between the armies of Chu under Xiang Yu and Han under Liu Bang. The 300,000 Han soldiers besieged Xiang Yu's 100,000-strong-army from Chu. Xiang Yu managed to break through the encirclement with 800 cavalrymen, but 5,000 Han horsemen were hot on his heels. The final decisive battle took place beside the Wujiang River. The Han army had laid an ambush on all sides. Xiang Yu, lord of Chu, knew that he had been utterly defeated and had to commit a suicide.
As early as the end of the 16th century, there was already written record of Shi Mian Mai Fu, elaborating the picture showed by the music.
Shi Mian Mai Fu is a treasure of the ancient historical scores of China.
This is an excellent piece where the music is performed on Guitar.
I really enjoy this piece.
