I have always been inspired by stories of handicapped athletes who, despite their physical limitations, are able to overcome many challenges and attain their goals. Starting from a musical portrayal of five athletes in a competition, to the kind of emotional turmoil that they experience along the way, this brass quintet will hopefully serve as a reminder to us that no matter how difficult things might appear to be in the quest of our lives, we would be able to conquer all barriers in the end as long as we are determined to do so.

Into the Void serves as a call to adventures; the commissioning and sending forth of brave travelers. It could bring to mind those historical or legendary moments when brave men and women have been summoned and send out on bold quests - whether to discover a new continent, to walk on the moon, or to travel beyond the stars. On a more musical note, this piece is basically a fanfare, march and chorale. Whether the performers and listeners search for the deep metaphorical meanings in the piece, or ponder the musical structure, I hope the journey is fun.
