On the cliff
Under full moon

Defending against enemies

Duration: 7’50”
Program Notes:

This score is to express the unity of the universe, time and space, and the diversity produced by the continuous movement of matter and energy.
The badminton shaped fountain is composed of water vapor and plume, which seems to be derived from 2 patterns: rhythm and range, combination and deformation. The infinite possibility is brought by the collision, it is like the numbers and notes in the resembling music. And the playing method and the pitch intervals change alternately. The eruption is like the constant stimulation and oppression in the melody. To form infinity in the form of restricted compass, to get unity between chaos and order. In a limited region of articulation, to complete the form without any restriction, to find a breakthrough in the repeated matter collision and depression.
The universe, music, restriction and unlimited.
The universe is like the brain.

Program Notes:

In semiotics, volute is a variant of circle, indicating a circular movement and a repetition of a process again and again, demonstrating the characteristics of "perpetual". The composition borrowed the concept and adopted the tones of Chinese Kunqu Opera to express the idea of reincarnation, eternal life, awakening, hope and new life.
The violin is just like the outline of the symbol. lines start from the original point, curly and tense. It sounds like the breeze and clouds, and the sound keeps flying (going) back and forth in the woods, in the moonlight, in the water and in the water waves.
The piano is like the inner side of the symbol. The revolving and surrounding the vortex shows has provided a sense of movement for the piano. Like the living things in nature, the piano has a strong life and spreads like flowers.

Pure. Fire

Year: 2019
Instrumentation: For String Quartet
Duration: 10’20”
Program Notes:

Fire, a phenomenon of energy release, changes shape as it vibrates. The rhythm is interwoven in the splitting, recombining, colliding and combining of the fire, and the timbre sways with each other in the pressure and temperature. The mixture of the two is more like the interpretation of the flow and jump of fire, which produces various forms in the continuous refining.

Fire, in the continuous acquisition of energy, transcends the existing form and possesses the purity of transforming the visible into the invisible. The natural friction between the bow and the string is like the impact of tangible materials, showing unique and consistent charm in different playing methods. Finally, the entanglement of different emotions, only to tell the purest nature.

Glittering Gloss

Year: 2020
Instrumentation: For 1 Chinese Bamboo Flute, 1 Erhu, 1 Pipa, 1 Zheng
Duration: 7’43”
Program Notes:

“Colored Glaze”, the first of the five famous Chinese artifacts, is a magnificent chapter in this historical collection. It displays a fusion of changes toward a modern aesthetic while integrating a delicate mood, resulting in a beautiful harmony of emotion and art.
In Glittering Gloss, I want to show the crystal clear quality of this colored glaze, but not diminish its color fusion. For instance, there is a different timbre at the point of intersection of different textures, but it does not lose its unique consistent quality. The flow of color is like a song, like tears… the material moves like long and short breaths in linear textures extending and colliding. Large or small bubbles are like floating or sinking musical shapes, suddenly dense then suddenly discrete. Musical motives are constantly cutting through and in conversion, wandering in the flow of the colored glaze, and floating in the color of the different registers, exquisitely and effortlessly. Also, the glaze may be described as powerful. Colors are elegant and flying. The combination of thought and emotion convey tension, and the shock brought by the performing methods is also incisive. Different colors also suggest strong textures. The independent direction of the different voices combine with an internal connection between the instruments, forming a unique sound effect and creating a consistent musical mood. In the end, the soft feeling is of water, the tone alternates between instruments, and the intensity between the notes sounds gentle and clear.
Colored glaze, joins together myriad colors but remains always transparent, flying, with soaring spirit and elegance.
