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

Beschreibung

zu Franz Schubert, Symphonie-Fragment D-Dur D 936A - ein Versuch zwischen Orchester- und Kammermusik

Wie kann ein nicht vollständiges Werk einer Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht werden?

Ein unvollendetes Bild hat für Betrachtende einen grossen Reiz; ein Textfragment - etwa von Hölderlin - kann Gedanken auslösen nach Herkunft und möglichem Ziel; eine musikalische Skizze ist schwieriger zu vermitteln, wenn sie nicht bloss gelesen, sondern aufgeführt und gehört werden soll. In die Fusstapfen des Komponisten zu treten und "stilecht" zu komplettieren ist eine oft gewählte Herangehensweise. Eine andere, transparentere wäre, Ergänzung und Bearbeitung auch hörbar zu machen, ohne das Original zu zerstören.

Franz Schubert schrieb in den letzten Wochen seines kurzen Lebens an einer Symphonie in D-Dur (D 936A). Erhalten sind zwölf grosse, zweizeilig eng geschriebene Seiten mit drei Sätzen: einem ersten mit zwei Anfängen bis zum mittleren Doppelstrich und danach nur einem rätselhaften Schluss zwischen Trauer und virtuosem Übermut. Der zweite, ein Andante in h-Moll erscheint fast nackt, ohne übliches Beiwerk, mit einem nachträglich durchgestrichenen Schluss. Der dritte Satz ist "Scherzo" überschrieben, aber in völlig neuer Sicht durchgeführt, ohne die üblichen Wiederholungen, in einem sich fortlaufendend entwickelnden polyphonen Satz. Von einem Finale fehlt jede Spur.

Der Bearbeiter wählte für jeden Satz eine andere Art, das Fragmentarische spürbar zu machen. Die komplette Exposition des ersten Satzes entspricht Schuberts früherer Instrumentationsweise. Statt der fehlenden Durchführung bildet eine neu komponierte leise, dünn instrumentierte Brücke den Übergang zu einer zunächst immer noch im Schatten liegenden kürzeren Reprise. Die Coda folgt wieder ganz Schuberts Schreibweise. Im traumhaften Andante wurden keine Stimmen für Übergänge hinzugefügt. Einzig eine kleine, nachträglich von Schubert eingefügte Fis-Dur-Episode wurde klanglich etwas hervorgehoben. Die durchgestrichene Coda wird bloss von einem einfachen Streichquartett gespielt. Daran anschliessend wird der polyphone Scherzo-Satz an Stelle des Orchesters bis zum Schluss durchgehend von einem Streichquintett (mit zwei Celli) ausgeführt.

Der Dirigent legt also bereits vor dem Schluss des Andante seinen Stock nieder und hört - wie das ganze Orchester - bis zum Ende den Solostreichern zu. Aus dem Gemälde wird eine Zeichnung.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Instrumentation: Cellokonzert

When I was looking at the old painting "Totentanz" (Dance of Death) in Bern in Switzerland, I thought that despite so many differences between East and West traditions, religions and cultures, there are such profound similarities in the depths of the human mind! In 2020, the year of the White Mouse, the unseen Reaper is active all over the world and it is difficult to avoid it. Life and death, this eternal theme since ancient time haunts us today and tomorrow, in life and in arts.

This is an unusual concerto. Instead of regular orchestra instruments it uses natural materials like paper in different forms to produce different levels of tone colours, rhythms and musical articulations to support and contrast the solo cello. The white paper is an indispensable material and colour in the ceremony of Chinese people to hold the memorial ceremony for the dead. It has occupied irreplaceable symbolism and a strong sense of ritual in people's hearts from ancient time to the present.

In this piece of music, the ensemble creates different tones from strong, eruption sounds to euphemistic voices by beating, tearing or strongly vibrating the paper instruments to broaden and tightly support the solo cello. The unconventional instrumental combination used in the concerto changes the contrast between sound and tone. It brings unpredictable soundscapes. This adds a mysterious, even magical note to the music and fills it with tension.

The cello part contains strongly dynamic sections as well as the inner reflection singing sections. It brings two parallel melodies together and emphasizes the change of timbre in the operation of a single line, that forms up a multi-dimensional acoustic state of itself. It reflects the unstoppable dynamics and omnipotent divine power of the god of death.

Grim Reaper tore the hearts of those who lost loved ones. It took life away lightly like if it were a piece of paper. It left the helplessness of people and the sorrow of losing loved ones, and the silent prayer to bless the deceased: Let‘s pray that the souls of all people who became victims of the virus will rest in peace!

Im Zentrum des Konzerts für Akkordeon und Orchester steht das Moment des fragilen Gleichgewichts, eines prekären und gleichzeitig Glück verheissenden, immer nur temporären Zustands und die Gefahr um dessen Verlust. Inspiriert durch die Mobiles von Alexander Calder, gerät die Musik immer wieder aus ihrem Gleichgewicht. Sie kommt mit allerlei Kräften ins Spiel, kämpft mit Schlagseiten und pendelt zwischen Anziehung und Abstossung.
