"Obsession, A Hakka Caprice" - Program Note

This arrangement is for violin and orchestra. It was inspired by the Hakka folksongs and used Strawinsky's Tango as a connection. In addition to breaking the impression of the stereotype of Hakka folksongs, the composer attempted to give folksongs a different style and kind of appearance to show the elegant charm of folksongs. To imagine a free, loose tempo folk song melody with a bright and cheerful tango rhythm. Is it mysterious passion? Or confused? If Strawinsky met a Hakka girl, what spark would it spark?

This arrangement was commissioned by the National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra in 2020.

Instrumentation
picc., 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 2, 2, Tuba. 1 Timp. 2 Per. Harp, Str.


《情迷山歌子》– 樂曲解說

此曲為小提琴協奏曲，採用客家山歌的山歌仔旋律與史特拉汶斯基的探戈 作為一個連結, 除了打破一般人對客家山歌的刻版印象, 也企圖讓山歌有不同的 風采及面貌來呈現山歌的優雅韻味。想像散板式節拍自由的山歌旋律搭上鮮明 快活的琛戈節奏會是什麼樣子呢？是神秘熱情？或是意亂情迷？若是史特拉汶斯基 遇上客家妹子會擦出什麼火花呢？

本曲為2020年國立台灣交響樂團委託創作。
