Description:
From the composer: Dragon Rhyme for Symphonic Band is in two movements: I. Mysteriously-Harmoniously; and II. Energetically. The first movement is lyrical; and the second powerful. Featuring the basic intervals found in Beijing Opera music; the thematic material in both movements is matched; and used economically for development throughout the work. The instrumental texture is rich in colors; from transparent and delicate to angular and strong. Taking the image of the dragon; which is auspicious; fresh; and vivid; the music is layered and multidimensional. It symbolizes Eastern culture. When it meets the world; it becomes a part of the global family.
