Riding the Winds and Waves

Consisting of three main sections, the piece depicts a journey where one is heart strong, going forward bravely against all odds. The fast opening section sets a changing mood where initial feelings of strength gradually become clouded by doubt and uncertainty. After a slow middle section offering inner reflection where one might find peace of mind, the fast final section returns to a character that, while uncertain, is furious and exciting.

Originally written for geomungo solo, this mixed ensemble version is commissioned by Ding Yi Music Company.
