Program Notes
This string quartet piece was inspired by the beautiful mountains of Taiwan.
The three sections of the music describe the Jade Mountain, the Seven Star
Mountain, and the Ali Mountain, respectively. The first section presents
various voices rhythmically syncopated into stacked layers, like the emerging
of a prominent monument from surrounding mountains. The second section
uses a fine-grained rhythmic structure. Plucking melodies are scattered in
all parts contrasted by sustaining overtones, expressing an intricate landscape
of volcanic terrains and hot springs. The third section depicts the natural
wonders including the sea of clouds, the sunrise, the sunset, and the
magnificent trees of the Ali Mountain. An intertwined structure is woven
through convoluted layers. Yet its regularity can be heard, just like the
fascinating sounds of winding streams through weathered rock formations.
