Qi Qi, pronounced “chee-chee”, refers to the Chinese characters 器 and 氣. 器 are the instruments of the orchestra, while 氣 is vital energy. Without being programmatic, the composer/conductor chooses this viewpoint to express his sentiments.

“器”是樂隊的樂器; 而”氣”是人體重要的能量。這樂曲是作曲家/指揮借音符來抒發自己感情，並無俱體的故事內容。

Programme notes:

In the scarcity of the desert, the sweetness of dew delights. 
In the perpetuity of the desert, the ostinato rings on.

在蕭索的大漠中，一口令人喜悅的甘露；
在無盡的黃沙裡，一串徘徊不去的鈴聲。

Barriers give us perceived safety. Safety from the unknown and from potential harm. But barriers also limit us in our experiences and our understanding. Musical sound can help transcend time, place, and the spoken language. Folk songs in particular express fundamental sentiments directly and purely. "Boundless Songs of Love" takes six folk songs - five Canadian and one Chinese - to bring together the common message of love, and to fulfill the words of Aristotle: "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts."

1. A la claire fontaine (French; Quebec)
2. Lullaby: Sung to Hiwatha (Algonquin; Ontario)
3. When the Moon Comes Up (Cree; Saskatchewan)
4. I'll Give My Love an Apple (English; Nova Scotia)
5. She's Like the Swallow (Newfoundland)
6. 康定情歌 Love Song of Kangding (China)

Thanks to Professor Elaine Keillor of Carleton University for her expertise and sharing of resources.
