Quite a descriptive tone-picture drawn by the composer on the score y puttingforwardaninteresting conceptinthewritingof Windmusic.Not-to-be-comparewith themost commonstyle and soundof ‘bandmusic’ nor‘military music’,you willcertainly find here, is the chromatically shifts in harmony alongside, points of triads(in theirsecond inversionand seemsto beunrelated toeach other) inparallel progressions,are heardelsewhere. Theclarity of orchestrationand thecareful groupingof windinstruments show uniquecraftmanship inmastering differentinstrumental idioms& technique.Fromthework,youmayexpectsometonalcenter(s)but this actually will quickly emerged into or passed onto another seems-to-berelated tonalcenter.Allthe 12major keys(name and spotthemall ifyoucan) aregoingto beheardthough notinfull, but linkedswiftlytogether.
Theopeningofthework recallsthe‘Ding-a-dong’ y bellslike y clockstruck fromthe clocktower ofthe CityHall, asymbol ofour city,Hong Kong.Followedby the‘tick-talk’ ofa smallertable-clock in a syncopated way, the ensemble seemed to be dispersed into piecesofinstrumentalsectionswith dotsoftriadhoppinghere and there. The middle section re-assembles and creates with a funny-but-warm 2 bar-phrase of which may actually jump in a never-ending-like cycle.From here, the composer wishes to introducedifferent sectionsof windinstruments, whichlead toa common formation of a wind orchestra (an image of Brittens’s “YoungPersons’ GuidetotheOrchestra” y ifyou doinsist torealize so).Youmayhear, asfromthe topandgo rightstraightdown along the score, the high woodwinds, the double reeds (Oboes and Bassoons- whichare normallyhard tobe heardin theensemble) & the Clarinet family.An enchanting and sensational Saxophone choirgives amelancholy moodfollowed bythe brassfaculty (the Horns,Trumpets,Trombones, Euphoniums&Tubas inapair); lastly comesthe percussionsand aremarkably grandbut surpriseending servesasyourirresistablelightdessert.
作曲家以嶄新而富趣味性及具明快節奏之手法 譜寫此管樂曲。聽眾不難發覺此曲與常見的 管樂或軍樂曲作品有別，有以半音階形式漸 進之和聲進行、亦有以「點」之形式出現之 三和弦（多以其第二轉位來應用）平衡進行， 營造出跳脫的音樂效果。曲中配器的運用能 清晰而恰到好處地帶給聽眾清新的感覺，充 分反映作者能巧妙地運用各樂器之特色，匠 心獨運。更有趣的，是全曲共全數應用了十 二個大調，但卻每每快速而暢順地由一調性 轉移到另一調性。
樂曲開首乃取材於香港大會堂鐘樓之鐘聲， 繼以切分節拍模仿小檯鐘聲（兩者皆喻意時 光飛逝之感）及點點的三和弦（模仿鐘樓之 鐘聲）；樂團看似被鬆散的樂思切割得支離 破碎，卻又帶領著聽眾進入跳躍而富動感的 樂章裡。樂曲中段主要以兩小節之樂句組成， 和諧溫馨，饒富趣味，當中並以各調之音階 及琶音為主要樂思構成部分，作者以兩者來 介紹組成管樂團的各種樂器，以於總譜中之 順序，由短笛、長笛、雙簧管類樂器（雙簧管 及巴松管均於管樂團演奏中，通常較難於清 晰地聽到）、單簧管家族；及後一段極富感性 之薩克管四重奏，奏出憂郁的調子；繼之出現 的銅管家族成員（包括圓號、小號、長號、 上低音號及大號）及敲擊組成員。樂曲之尾 聲始於再重現之一組強而有力的和聲進行， 接以最後亦再重現之鐘樓景色作結。
Hènhas amultitude ofmeaning inChinese, suchas regret,hatred. Thispiece ofmusic aimsto portraythe ecstasyof thecomposer towardsthisword.
Itried toattempt somemelodic figureinto themusic, butI realize thata melodyis toodecent forsuch aviolent emotion.Thereare different gestures through out the piece, by overlapping these figures;it createsdifferent texturesso toexpress differentkinds of emotion,feelingsand aura.
恨，一字，透過組合不同的字，能組成多個 不同意思的詞語，例如悔恨、仇恨等等；此 曲旨在抒發作曲家對此字的思考及幻想。
音樂中並沒有運用任何旋律性的素材，透過 不同音形互相堆砌，創造出不同的織體，藉 此表達不同的情感，為此作品的特色之一。

《節青序曲》於2018年受香港節日青年管樂團
（下稱節青）委託而寫，以慶祝樂團成立十五 週年。由於節青為香港節日管樂團的青年團， 作曲家採用了香港節日管樂團的主題曲《節日 序曲》的音樂意念穿插於全曲，以作致敬。 樂曲貫切美式高中序曲風格，分為三部分。 樂曲以有活力的旋律及輕快的慶典風格作 開首，於樂曲的中段部分，加入了色士風 四重奏以其抒情的旋律，進長笛及小號獨奏。 隨獨奏後，樂曲漸漸建立到澎湃的高潮，並 漸漸回落到平靜的氣氛。從而進入最後一 部分，樂曲又再次回歸到有活力的氣氛當中， 並以慶典風格作結束。

香港作為一個融合中西文化的城市，在存在 中國習俗和文化－尤其是南中國文化－的同 時，又深受西洋文化影響。樂曲將為觀眾帶 來某部分香港文化的觸角感受。
管樂團作品《城市風貌》以敲擊樂為主軸。 音樂以強烈的樂隊齊奏展開「驚螫」－昆蟲 的甦醒時節的主題，同時以「打小人」的聲 音墊在背景。整首樂曲充斥着大排檔、麻將 和粵劇的聲音，此起彼落，各種聲響轉化成 即將由樂隊擴充的主題句。一些民謠的零碎 段落也引用其中，同樣轉化成擴展用的主題 句。樂曲最後在平靜的氣氛中完結。
《城市風貌》為通利新青年管樂團於2011年 的委約作品，並在於台灣舉辦的「世界管樂 協會2011」中首演。樂曲後期經歷一次重大 修改，其中加入了更大量的打麻將和打小人 部分。
