Wind Quintet / 管樂五重奏
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.
此作品根據中國五行學説創作。結構緊扣着五行的特性、相生順序及所對應音調創作。樂曲取名《循環》，代表五行學説中氣的變化使宇宙萬物循環不已。
此作品僅以三天時間寫好，用以遞交作曲比賽及中醫課堂功課。三天的作品貨色在作曲比賽中結果當然是輸掉，而我對中醫理論還是一竅不同。但是一雞兩味，還是挺化算的。
