CLASSICAL CHINESE TEXT (pinyin romanization)
ENGLISH TEXT (poetic adaptation by the composer)
dao ke dao, fei chang dao; ming ke ming, fei chang ming.
The Way that you can go is not the Way. The Name that you can say is not the real Name.
wu, ming tian di zhi shi; you, ming wan wu zhi mu.
Heaven and Earth begin in the place which has no name. The Ten Thousand Things are born in the mother of the Name.
gu chang wu, yu yi guan qi miao, chang you, yu yi guan qi jiao.
The soul that does not want makes secrets known. The hungry soul wants only what it's shown.
ci liang zhe, tong chu er yi ming. tong wei zhi xuan, xuan zhi you xuan,
The two are the same but they change their name as they appear. Mystery of every mystery.
zhong miao zhi men.
The Hidden Door The Door to the Hidden
for literal translation and classical chinese tonal marks, see www.tao-te-king.org Program Note In classical Daoist philosophy, the notion of using words to explain the Dao is fundamentally incompatible with the Dao. In some ways, that is the very subject of the first chapter of the Daodejing, the 4th century B.C.E. text attributed to Lao Tse. In light of this paradox, rather than offering a well-meaning program note to fly in the face of its subject matter, the composer offers instead... A note which may be useful for programs What does daoist music sound like? What does a daoist program note look like? What is the difference between translation and writing lyrics that may be useful? These are questions. ABOUT THE COMPOSER Forrest Pierce composes genre-defying music steeped in Sufi mysticism and contemporary virtuosity. Sincere, often triadic, and blatantly tuneful, it draws on both non-western and rock-era traditions to depict an authentic world of sacred unity and natural beauty. His works have been performed in sacred and concert settings around the world, on noteworthy concert series and by diverse ensembles such as Brave New Works, the Chamber Players of the Society of New Music/ISCM, the BMOP chamber series, DuoSolo, the Chamber Orchestras of Portland and Kansas City, the Indianapolis and Walla Walla Symphonies, the Concord Ensemble, the Seattle New Music Ensemble, the Oregon and Northwest Repertory Singers, the Boston Choral Ensemble, the Dublin and Canadian International Organ Competitions, Songfest, and by numerous distinguished soloists in North America and abroad. Pierce is the past resident composer of the Seattle New Music Ensemble and the founding artistic director of Portland's Friends of Rain Contemporary Ensemble. A student of Dominick Argento, Stephen Paulus, and Don Freund, his catalog is led by over 50 works for voices, including operatic, choral, and solo vocal forces. His music has won first prizes in the Cambridge Chamber Singers International Choral competition, and in the Boston Choral Ensemble commissioning competition. Pierce teaches on the faculty of the University of Kansas School of Music, and was educated at the University of Puget Sound, the University of Minnesota, and Indiana University.
