! Notes Empyreal Oasis was originally commissioned by China’s EOS Orchestra Academy for its 5-year anniversary. The EOS student orchestra in Beijing premiered it last year. The piece is filled with colorful and dynamic portrayals of my impressions of the landscapes I have visited in the past few years. These include a summer morning at the Tsinghai Lake, a snowy mountain, deserts, blue skies, blue oceans and a golden-pink field of flowers; the Alps after the rain in late autumn, a silver sky connected to the dark red background; the Yosemite National Park at dusk in the early spring, the pine forests and snow ornamented walking stones; the Island of Maui in the late winter, the rainbow going through the purple lavender farm lands above the azure colored sea. If each instrumental group were to represents a color group, so each instrument stands for a specific color. Different textures and harmonic languages describe different scenes. These shades and tonalities that represent colors are overlapped and crisscrossed with each other. The textures and languages that represent different scenes appear in alternation, making up a vibrant, dreamy and dramatic painting. Beijing, in November 2011. Duration: 10 minutes
