Aboriginal’s Pneuma(2021)

Program Note:

The origin of any civilization in the world, or of the human-being as a whole remains mysterious, yet fascinating to us. Even though five thousand years has passed, we can still discover some traces of ancient human-beings and continue to be impressed by their vigor, wisdom and brave spirit . Fortunately, that spirit never vanish. There are still many primitive tribes and nations inherit the spirit and tradition from ancient time. Every time we step into a jungle, stand on the summit of the mountain or discover the desert, we can hear their songs, feel their breathe and sense their Pneuma. They always been protecting our great nature and even willing to be fused with our nature.

As a composer, I am so attracted by the charm of the people from the primitive world. I incorporates many sounds I borrowed from their world in my piece : wind, dance, song, drum, roaring, and birds.
