Flowers Tune Excerpt

In ancient China, the dragons was a symbol of power, strength, and good luck for people who are worthy of it.  On Spring Equinox, the Emperor would go the Altar of the Sun, officiate a ritual in order to pray for the country so that his people could live in affluence in the coming year.  It was believed that the rituals could drive away bad lucks and natural disasters, bring good fortune and bountiful harvest to the people.  Written in contemporary style with multiple tonalities, the composer intends to depict the mysterious culture of ancient China in these sacrificial rituals.  

The music is composed by Hong Kong composer Miss Viola Yuen, who is commissioned by the handbell Association of Hong Kong with sponsorship from CASH Music Fund for the 16th International Handbell Symposium in Jeju, Korea.

Flower Drum Song

"Wind of soul" is an unique and pioneer piece for handbell soloist, the whole piece uses only 12 bells of 11 notes. It is written in a very slow tempo because each memory consists of a different experience, and it takes time to reflect the very delicate feelings in each of them. The reverberation of the bells is the main essence of the music, which acts like the ripples of my heart among the different feelings. 
The composer used a Tibetan Buddhist chant (Oṃ maṇi padme hūṃ or six-syllabled Sanskrit mantra) to end the piece; the soloist can experience this philosophic and oriental sound throughout.

 "Hing" is a stone-made percussion instrument from ancient China. It can be performed in a similar manner as the "Bianzhong", bronze bells with different pitches that are hanged on a large wooden frame and struck with a mallet. In the ancient book of 'History of the Early Tang Dynasty' described the sound from the "hing" as the 'sound of winter'. The letter "H" from the word "H'ing" means "happiness" and "handbells", "-ing" reflects a continuous meaning of the sound that are produced as well as the passing out of good music.
