Between Steam and Hills for piano solo
Program Notes:
The composer was inspired by Chinese paintings while composing this piece. What
all prominent Chinese painters sought after was the mental world that they could
dwell in comfortably. This, in return, would liberate them from worldly burden.
Therefore, to refine their characters and to liberate them spiritually is the base of
Chinese painters’ technique. How do their minds approach to this state? Being close
to hills and stream is the only way. There is a strong emphasis on the relation
between people and nature here.
While composing this piece, the composer went hiking very often. However, in this
piece, there is no literally metaphor from “stream” and “hills.” Instead, the composer
tried to transform the energy of the Nature and painters’ spirits into her music,
creating the new sound that still belongs to her heritage while using western
instrument.
