Concerto

Instrumentation: for violin and large orchestra (3.3.3.3/4.3.3.1/3perc/hp/30.12.10.8)

This piece is inspired by a Chinese drama of the 12th century. A woman is unjustly exectued, nature testifies her innocence: her blood doesn't drop to the ground but flies away on a white blanket; a heavy snow falls in the middle of summer and the winds begin to howl.
The rhythm is influenced by the poetic form of the Song dynasty (960-1279). The organisation of the musical material is inspired by certain codes which allow one to understand the taoistic texts.

wave trip is the final piece of a four-part cycle.
Two orchestral pieces frame a violin concert and a piece for solo violin. wave trip refers on the one hand to the first orchestral work, from which mainly gestural elements are extracted and continued. The focus here is on the wave-like continuation gesture of the music. On the other hand, this piece attaches itself to the violin concert and the violin solo, from which sound elements are extracted and further developed in wave trip. The focus here is a central sound which characterises the whole of the violin concert. Two intervals (thirds and quints) are extracted from this sound and used in wave trip as the basis for new development possibilities.
Thus the piece begins with the development of a third, which undergoes lineal absorbtion into a dense mesh of sound texture before re-emerging as a pure third. The fifth sound appears with a preference for the register nuances of the brass section, which is guided mainly by a duet but also once by a quartet.
In the 2nd half of the piece, the strings for example, form a melodic structure comprised mainly of thirds, the vertical sound structure is, however, composed of fifths. Furthermore, veil-like

Seven Towers 1-7 - ein Orchesterzyklus in sieben aufeinanderfolgenden Teilstücke von 80 Minuten Dauer. Die sieben Teile gestalten sich durch musikalische Verlaufsprozesse, die sich in jedem Satz anders formulieren. Verlaufsprozesse beschreiben das musikalische Geschehen beim aktiven Hören im Moment der Wahrnehmung. Sieben musikalische Klangräume wurden erstellt, um die Verläufe deutlich von einander abzuheben. Die Musik möchte innere Räume öffnen, ja vielleicht sogar an äussere Räume erinnern. Die Teilstücke sind so geschrieben, dass sie als ein einziges Kontinuum spielbar sind. Die einzelnen Teilstücke können aber auch einzeln gespielt werden. Das erste Teilstück bildet die Grundstruktur des gesamten Zyklus. Es stellt eine Mikrostruktur dar, die sich in der Makrostruktur des Gesamtwerkes wiederspiegelt: es gründet auf sieben aufeinander folgenden Klangräumen, welche die musikalischen Elemente vorstellen. Jedes der darauf folgenden Teilstücke bezieht sich auf die Materialien und entwickelt die Ideen weiter.

Pentatonic music is a yoke for a Chinese composer. I want to shake it off, but at the same time I want to keep some trace of this "yoke".
The first song is based on the folk song "Small Road". The original song contains a deep helplessness. The melody is continually descending, perfectly expressing the sense of the lyrics. In China, love between the young was taboo in the past.
I composed the second song myself - it imitates the style of a river chant. The song conjures up the image of the incredible manpower required for this task.

Concertino

Instrumentation: for orchestra (2.2.2.2/2.1.0.0/perc/8.7.6.4.2)

Inspired by the Chinese translation for the theme "in competition".
I composed this concertino, commissioned by the Young •Euro •Classic •Festival Orchestra with the theme "In Competition" . This theme, though exactly appropriate for the spirit of the Olympic Games, posed a really tough task in music, for it is impossible to evaluate music works through competition. But inspired by the sound of the character "zheng" in the Chinese translation for "In Competition", I associated the theme with the Chinese instrument Zheng, a zither with 25 strings, because the two characters share the same sound in Chinese, and came up with the idea of composing a Zheng concerto in respect that concertos imply competition between the solo instrument and the orchestra. Unfortunately this idea was rejected by the commissioner for the sake of a solo instrument not included in the budget. With no alternatives, I composed this Zheng concertino without a Zheng by imposing some unique features of Zheng, like plucking, arpeggio, glissando, and grace notes, on all the instruments. To my great joy, it not only produced a strikingly fresh orchestra sound effect, which is totally different from any other orchestral music works of my own, but also gave me a new train of thoughts to combine western and eastern music styles, for which I owed my hearty gratitude to the music theme commissioned by the Young •Euro •Classic •Festival Orchestra and its demanding restrictions.

To explore the whole of vastness is the utopic aim, and yet the whole can only be seen in part. Dialectic between part and whole is expressed in terms of the exploration to extremities of a dimension and the freezing of other parameters. A simple orchestral part with aleatoric passages in which each individual plays independently.

One day, Wendy, my three-year-old daughter, came to me and said, "Daddy, I was listening to the sound of flowers"and I was really astonished by her poetic language. I know she is fond of flowers but what I don't know is that she has a potentiality to be brought out as an obscure poet. Then I asked, "How is the sound like?" She sang, "Do----". I couldn't believe my years that I asked her repeatedly and there came the same answer as before. That touched off a train of my thoughts and I wrote this new piece by using the technique of distorting the spectrum based on note C and E as well as interpolation. And I decided the copyright of this piece is reserved for myself and its author royalties go to my daughter.
This piece was commissioned by "Hu Jingmin" Contemporary Music Foundation.

I can safely say "The Peony Pavilion", a Kun Opera by Tang Xianzu, is the most audacious play in the Chinese opera history for trying to smash the bonds of feudal ethics by glorifying a brave pursuit of love. Picking up the pitch materials from one measure of this opera and the elements of Luogu Jing, a Chinese traditional vocal notation for percussion, I hope this piece would serve as a grand respect for Tang Xianzu through weaving an adventurous but organic fabric of heaven and hell, man and ghost, love and lust, dream and reality, merit and demerit as well as tranquility and bustle, just like a reflection in a mirror.

Six songs

Instrumentation: for bass and orchestra (2(pic).2.2.(bcl).2(cbn)/2.2.0.0/timp.perc/str)

Texts: John Donne

Orchestral version of the six songs for bass and piano.
In 'A Valediction' I have taken six poems by the Baroque poet John Donne with one prevailing theme: the saying of farewells, the leaving of loved ones. The theme is circumscribed in Donne's picturesque language in a multitude of modes ranging from tender pain to powerful and reckless claims of freedom, and on further to ecstatic delirium in the knowledge that physical separation is revoked by spiritual unification.
In a similar manner to the text, the music circles around a complex nucleus of themes that merge into great lines and trace the various shades of feeling.
'A Valediction' is dedicated to Ute and Susanne Stoecklin.

Midnight Tune is inspired by the poem Midnight Piano Tune by Xi Chuan, a China's modern poet, who was provoked by a piano tune he heard at midnight into deep reflections on the nature of life. The poet stunned me so much with his mind-blowing imagination of images, otherworldly and creative use of words, and the rich musicality and distinct rhythm in the poem that I could not tell whether I was lost in the extra-powerful magic power of the modern poetic language or overwhelmed by the glass sky-walk built by the modern poem between reality and fantasy, or whether my music gave his poem wings or his poem brought my music to life.

Ink Splashing is one of the techniques for traditional Chinese painting. This painting technique was accidentally innovated by Wang Qia, an artist in the Tang Dynasty, who, in an inebriation, threw ink onto a piece of silk on a desk, and turned the traces of seeping ink into an unexpectedly remarkable landscape painting in an impressionistic manner. It was later developed into a methodical and systematic formula with a combination of washy and thick ink.

Movement order: "In Catene - in Fuga - In Scioglimento". In a self-explanatory way, the title and movement order show that the piece does not try to follow classical and romantic form, even if it makes use of a large orchestral setting. The movement titles are merely a starting point for the compositional process, not a programme. In the final movement a theme from a motet by Felice Anerio (1560-1614) is re-worked and a Gregorian melody incorporated.

The regular beat is one initial point of departure, on the one hand side as a reference to the 'Winterthurer Musikfestwochen', a 25 year-young rock and pop festival, and on the other a reference to J.S Bach who died 250 years ago. The second point of departure is the fugal principle, in this instance, however, the fugal theme consists not of single tones but of total structures: clusters, sound surfaces, figures, punctual fields etc..
