蘇軾隨想 Poems of Su Shi for voice and piano

untitled:improvisation

The beating begins but fragilely, and after an intense struggle, one lets go and slowly sinks down into the cold and deep. This is when the tutti turns for the first time into a trio for violin, viola and cello, and the sinking continues as slowly as the expanding of flower petals in a serene night. Suddenly, one’s eyes are open, and one vigorously tries to reach the distant light and air. Finally, one breaks through the surface and breathes in the warm air. The waves ripple as if nothing has happened.
 
In this piece, unstable pitches, glissandi, harmonics and sul ponticello of the string instruments are used to create the fragile beating. A linear figure, a minor second up followed by a minor/major third down, marks the up and down of the pulsing electrocardiogram. The piece attempts to describe the different pulsations between desperation and hope, and agony and rebirth.
