Fly Birdy Fly (for Woodwind Quintet)

Su Counterpoint was inspired by the first Red Cliff poem by Su Tung-po. In the poem, he looks into a river and sees eternity. This contrasts with the Greek philosopher Heraclitus who gazed into the river and saw perpetual flux. The piece is a contemplation of stasis and change. 

clarinet: Jun Qian
zheng: Zhou Jing
percussion: Scott Steele

Su Counterpoint

Commissioned by Trillium Ensemble
Premiered on the Pittsburgh Soundpike

Notes:
I’ve long been attracted to the music and ideas of György Ligeti. Heidegger’s writings on time have left a deep impression on me. The piece is dedicated to my mom, the third influence in the title. Listen, and you will hear the lullaby she used to sing. It appears both in the foreground in the middle and in the middle-ground throughout. My own voice and tastes are reflected through my choices.
