Cycle
Wind Quintet
This piece is composed according to the Chinese Five Elements theory. Its structure follows strictly according to the Five Elements’ characteristics, order of growth, and their respective scale. The piece is called “Cycle”, representing the theory’s idea of ever-transformation of chi circulating the universe.
This piece was composed in three days, to enter a composition competition and to hand in a Chinese Medicine assignment. A piece composed in three days would definitely lose the competition. And I’m still clueless about Chinese Medicine theories. Though, killing two birds with one stone is quite worth it.
