ESCAPE FROM XISHUANGBANNA (2022)
  大闹西双版纳
- for large orchestra and Chinese dasheng bells 

Commissioned by the Confucius Institute for 
the Asian Cultural Symphony Orchestra of the USA
- Jianyun Meng, project director

Premiere:  29 December 2022
Carnegie Hall, New York City

Program note:  
In 2021, nearly 20 adult Asian elephants escaped their controlled habitat in Xishuangbanna, southwest China. Deforestation, urban expansion and climate change became too overwhelming for the gentle giants.  For over a year this determined herd travelled the countryside in search of food, freedom and a new home. Communities were evacuated, the travelling giants became a spectacle, a few died along the way but eventually the remaining creatures were returned to their newly-renovated original home in Xishuangabanna.

Near the end of the piece, an arrangement of "Dá xiáng" (the elephant), a classic Asian children's song, is introduced - for this optimistic moment, three young children have come to the front of the stage and sing the song as the orchestra (and dasheng bells) accompany them. The traditional songs disappears, the children exit, and we are left with an atmosphere of caution ...

FEAR STRIKES OUT (2015)

XANADU was commissioned by The Florida State University College of Music for the grand reopening of the Ruby Diamond Concert Hall and the 100th anniversary of the College of Music. XANADU is a work inspired by the 80’s, the era in which the composer attended Florida State University as an undergraduate performance and composition major. Like this composition, the 80’s movie with the same title is inspired by the poem Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The poem was an opium-influenced dream describing a stately palace. This work is influenced by 80’s hip-hop culture, TV themes and other pop culture music of the late 70’s-80’s. The first three notes of the 80’s song Xanadu play an important thematic role in the work. This work also has an optional Turntablist (DJ record scratching) part for the percussion.
