Thinking in the Moonlight

Duration: 02' 30" Year: 2010
for Chinese yangqin (hammered dulcimer) with a Chinese text to be recited by performer

• Programme Note

  I composed this piece in March 2010 in response to the opportunity to write for the Chinese Yangqin (hammered dulcimer) played by visiting performer Wang Hui. Like the narrative of the poem, I wanted to work with an imagined journey, beginning in one place and returning there. However, the poem itself became the traveller in this case, written in China, brought to a foreign land where it is interpreted and transmuted into another form before being re-connected with its origin through the Chinese instrumentation and performer.
