In The Buried City, I Heard The Wind

Abstract Details

2018, Master of Music (MM), Bowling Green State University, Music Composition.
In the buried city, I heard the wind is an eight-minute single movement orchestral piece scored for 1 piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 1 English horn, 3 clarinets (3rd doubling bass clarinet), 3 bassoons (3rd doubling contrabassoon), 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, 1 tuba, timpani, 3 percussion, harp, piano/celesta, and strings. The work, inspired by the poem Listening to the flute sound at the frontier by Gao Shi (Tang Dynasty, 618-907), is in five sections with three distinct musical characters: rhythmic percussion, strings and woodwinds to create the battlefield scene; an oboe solo and the resounding tonal melody to express the feeling of sadness; and atonal language to express the tension, fear and hesitation of a people moving toward war.
