  • Simply an absolutely gorgeous piece, really showcasing Chen's brilliant impressionistic harmonies and orchestration
    00:00 Subtle, warm melodies on luscious, shimmering chords (3:24) More rapid percussion interjections begin to color the soundscape (and foreshadow later sections) (5:04)
    06:34 An energetic but ever light dance begins, its rhythm constantly shifting, its mood shifting between carefree and menacing
    08:58 A nostalgic return to the melodies of the beginning (10:08) Mini-climax before the dance returns
    11:57 Polytonal arpeggios bring a stressed end to the dance, before returning to warm, lyrical melodies, with deep, rich piano and harp chords underneath (12:45)
    13:56 Climax: broad, sweeping percussion arpeggios as the violins sing grandly yet so tenderly
    15:27 Heart-achingly beautiful solo melodies begin to be played in the resonance of the climax, before the dance picks up again (16:39)
    17:38 The warm melodies and the dance begin to mix (This section is just so bright and cheerful)
    20:20 ...before dissolving into piercing string chords and polytonal percussion arpeggios
    21:34 Final distant echos of the melodies of before, tinged with string clusters, vibraphone, and harp
    25:31 A final small burst of color: warm, resonant harp, vibraphone, and marimba, before the music fades away
    Score available from Gérard Billaudot
    Composer: Qigang Chen (陈其钢 Chén Qígāng) (August 28, 1951 - )
    Orchestra: Taiwan Philharmonic conducted by Shao-Chia Lü

    This is probably my favorite Qigang Chen piece (except maybe Iris dévoilée). It's so gorgeous and simply happifying, especially 17:38, so I'm glad to finally have a score video for it!

    初めて聞いた感想としては、打楽器とヴァイオリンのための協奏曲、という感じでしょうか。
    また、構成もはっきりしていて聞きやすいように感じました。
    旋律の音階にも特徴を感じるところが多かったように思います。

    U write that description up? One my favorite things to do when I’ve got a chance is, well the info and back ground to composer’s and the individual pieces of music and sonic art, so reading those which are sort of hidden and a cool extra, thanks for the passion to care enough to do that and I think you include that on many of nnot all score videos, music. I’ll go further, when I can damn see the line Melodie’s are taken and how many beats a chord or interval get in the mix and seeing such broad and vast means of composition and the music is what it is really, these vivid and textured lush or layers or like janacek, Leos, that’s different how he has his music all work together and such, anyways. Yeah cool!

      It is such an amazing little showcase of Chen's orchestral mastery, and I had the great pleasure of hearing it in person, so perhaps, in a little while. Will have to get other things off the to-do list first though (and the billibilli video existing does lower its priority somewhat)

      I haven't heard this particular piece yet but I'm certainly going to listen when I get the chance. Chen never fails to impress

    Definitely at his strongest in slow shimmering passages. Gorgeous. Faster sections seem to struggle to keep my attention... maybe would benefit from some classically trained melodic development and orchestration?

    • @meyer_brown
      @meyer_brown Месяц назад +1

      Large agree from me. The slow passages are so intensely well done that it really makes up for it however. I could listen to the first 5 minutes of this piece for hours.
