Program Notes
Freedom, as well as artistic freedom to an artist, seems natural to possess, although it is often so difficult to achieve. It needs long-term struggling and patching up, debating, meditating; and yet when it is completed, it sounds natural--meaning justified, spontaneous, something just the way it ought to be. That is what Zen in Five Strings is to me. In the process of composing the piece, I came up with the title, Zen in Five Strings. Zen (a modern English word derived from Japanese) originated from the Chinese word "Chan," meaning inner and spiritual meditation or contemplation. To me, Zen symbolizes the sublime freedom of mind. I use two dissonant chords and one consonant chord as my harmonic foundations. My goal is to make all dissonances finally sound harmonious to the whole body of music through special techniques of orchestration or contrapuntal touches. The music should sound adventurous and fun. I think I have achieved that.
