for flute and three percussionists

  • Instrumentation
    Percussion 1. c# crotale, one timpani, suspended cymbal; Percussion 2: vibraphone (motor off); Percussion 3: 4 rototoms (med or large) C# D# G# B
  • Programme Note

    Written at the 1986 Cambridge Music School and premiered there, this work utilises flute with 3 percussionists: C# crotale, one timpani, suspended cymbal, vibraphone 4 roto-toms. Two particular uses of glissando occur in the music – the flautist is called upon to execute a tremolo while overblowing to produce an upward rush through the upper harmonics; and the percussionist is asked to place the crotale upside down on the timpani head then to strike the crotale sharply and manipulate the timpani pedal – this causes the crotale pitch to fluctuate.

Water net

Duration: 06' 00" Year: 1984, r. 2008
for harp quartet and soprano

  • Instrumentation
    two violins, harp, cello and soprano
  • Programme Note

    Water Net was composed in 1984, based on a very attractive text by the famous lyricist Chen Feng. It describes in beautiful terms the scenery of the Sichuan countryside. At that time, I was with a TV crew working in Sichuan. I felt very pleased to find myself in the environment described in the poem and was thus motivated to compose this music.


    On 12th May 2008 at 14:28pm a tragedy shocked China and the world. The massive earthquake wiped out tens of thousands of lives and destroyed millions of homes. The Sichuan Conservatory of Music Mianyang Arts College in Mianyang City suffered badly with serious damage to lecture rooms, theatres, music studios and office buildings.
    “Bring back the music!” is the rallying cry of every musician who has ever been with associated with the Sichuan Conservatory of Music. In New Zealand, its former students Qu Yong, Gao Ping and I came up with ideal of “music to the rescue” concert to show our support. On 14th August 2008 6:10pm, this concert was hold at the Soundings Theatre, Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington. I revised this bountiful piece particularly for “music to the rescue” – a fundraising concert – in 2008.
