Inspi
red by Chinese tradition,
this concerto-like dance
suite includes: 1. Lion
Dance, 2. YangKo, and 3.
Muqam. Each movement
draws from melodies and
rhythms characteristic of
various regions of China
many centuries ago.
CHINESE FOLK DANCE SUITE
is available for violin
with full orchestra, or
as a recital work with
piano. Supported by a
major commissioning award
from the Serge
Koussevitzky Music
Foundation in the Library
of Congress, Chinese Folk
Dance Suite is written
for solo violin and
orchestra; it was
premiered by The
Women’s
Philharmonic with violin
soloist Terrie Baune,
conducted by Apo Hsu, on
March 10, 2001, at Yerba
Buena Center For the Arts
Theater in San
Francisco.Inspired by
various Chinese
traditional folk dances,
the suite has three
movements:I. Lion Dance.
Traditionally, people
dance with richly
decorated hand-made
lions, accompanied by
percussion ensemble, to
celebrate happy occasions
and major festivals
throughout the country.
In this composition, I
use Chinese drum and
other percussion
instruments in the
background, to form a
dynamic and rhythmic
texture responding to the
solo part, which imitates
the tunes played on the
suona (traditional
Chinese trumpet). The
pitch materials came from
the traditional Guangdong
tune “Dragon Boat
Racing,†and the
Chaozhou tune “Lion
Playing Ball.â€II.
YangKo. Originating in
northern China, this is a
major folk dance form in
mass performance
popularized in the
country. In YangKo
performance, people play
rhythmic patterns on the
drums hung around their
waists while singing and
dancing. In the second
movement, I imagined a
warm scene of YangKo
dancing in distance. The
solo violin plays a sweet
and gracious melodic line
while all members of the
orchestra sing
non-pitched syllables in
different layers as the
soft background, to
imitate the percussion
sound which produces the
ever-going pulse.III.
Muqam. This large-scale
music and dance form,
from the Uygur
nationality in Xinjiang
province, originated in
the 15th century. My
third movement use a 7/8
meter and the melodic
style of Muqam music. The
fiery dancing gesture
culminates in the
sustained climax section
at the end of the work,
after a colorful violin
cadenza in both
improvisational singing
style and polyphonic
writing with woven
lines.

This work
is part of a cycle of
five short pieces for a
single instrument and
piano, focused on the
five ages in the
cosmogony of Ancient
Mexican civilisation. The
peoples of the Mexican
highlands believe that
time follows specific
cycles and that the world
was created following the
pattern of 'trial and
error'. The creation of
the world is divided into
several periods which are
termed 'suns' (we are
currently living in the
fifth phase named
'Ollin'). Each period
will be brought to an end
through a natural
catastrophe.Solei-Feu
refers to the first
attempt to create a world
out of a rain of fire
(nahui quiahuitl).The
element of fire is
reflected in the musical
soundscape of this work,
constructed from rampant,
rhythmic motifs,
fragmented splinters,
spinning upswings and
impacts reverberating
through space. An
intimate dialogue
develops between violin
and piano on the basis of
extremely simple figures.
Interconnecting lines and
dense musical material
are thrown against each
other in a play of
contrasting registers and
blended tonal colouring,
creating a mysterious and
disturbing mythological
universe coloured by its
ontological pessimism.

comments: Concertino
for violin and string
orchestra was composed in
1993. It is a pleasant
score with a slightly
virtuosic touch written
with the idea of creating
a relaxed atmosphere in
which the soloist and the
orchestra can display
their technique and
expressive capabilities.
It is a work, similar in
lenght to baroque
concertos, and is divided
into three movements,
folowing the conventional
form.: two fast movements
around a slow one. Te
first two movements
-Allegro burlesco and
Adagio cantabile- follow
the ABA pattern. The
third starts with a
-cadenza- by the soloist
which includes thematic
material from the
previous slow movement
linking straight up to
the -Presto- which uses
as its main idea a more
forceful version of the
opening melodic sketch of
the -Allegro burlesco-
converted into three
time. The work was
specially creatied for
the violinist Gerard
Claret and the Orquestra
de Cambra Nacional
d'Andorra. Recordings:

Comenta
rios del
Espanol: Concertino
para violin y orquesta de
cuerda es una obra
compuesta en 1993. Se
trata de una partitura
amable y de cierto toque
virtuosistico cuya
principal preocupacion ha
sido crear una atmosfera
distendida en la que el
solista y la orquesta
puedan desplegar con
espontaneidad sus
capacidades tecnicas y
expresivas. Es una obra
de duracion similar a la
de los conciertos del
barroco y dividida en sus
tres tipicos movimientos.
Dos rapidos enmarcando
uno lento. Los dos
primeros -Allegro
burlesco y Adagio
cantabile- se desarrollan
bajo el esquema ABA. El
tercero inicia con una
-cadenza- del solista que
recoge material tematico
del movimiento lento
precedente para enlazar
sin interrupcion con el
-Presto- que utiliza como
idea principal el dibujo
melodico que abre el
-Allegro burlesco-, pero
mas decidido y a compas
ternario. La obra fue
compuesta expresamente
para el violinista Gerard
Claret y la Orquestra
Nacional de Cambra
d'Andorra. Grabaciones:
