Guitar Concerto No. 1 (Rememberance of Hometown)
Program Note
This piece is a single movement guitar concerto. It was written at the time
when the composer moved to a foreign country and missed her hometown.
The motif came from the Hengchun folksong "Nostalgia", which is a tune
originated from the southern countryside of Taiwan and fitted with many
different lyrics. The concerto begins with a guitar solo overture, playing a
melancholic melody to express homesickness. The structure is based on
an overture-rondo-coda form. The music changes back and forth from
sections of melodic mourning to sections of atonal suppressed screaming,
which reflects ambivalence of the nostalgic thoughts and the mindset of
helplessness as a traveller.
