Beautifully
atmospheric and within
reach of advanced
students, Fisherman's
Song is a poignant
addition to every
flutist’s
repertoire. Chen Yi
describes the main theme
as evocative of the
ornamented pentatonic
style often found in
Cantonese folk songs,
with a gentle piano
texture supporting the
flute’s
melody.
The original
version of
Fisherman’s Song
was written for Violin
and Piano in 1980. The
pentatonic melody
represented in the
beginning (on Violin) and
the ending part (on
Piano, with supporting
lines on Violin) is in a
singable Cantonese folk
song style. The middle
contrasting section is
more active and
energetic, with momentum
brought to a climax
before the recap.The work
was adapted for Flute and
Piano in 2022.
