Chen Yi’s exquisite PLUM BLOSSOM is a fantasy on the Cantonese children’s song “Moonlight.” The evocative title is inspired by plum blossoms which in Chinese culture symbolize nobility, elegance, perseverance, independence, and faithfulness. The 4-minute work weaves all these traits into a set of variations. PLUM BLOSSOM was commissioned as a compulsory work for the 2019 Hong Kong International Piano Competition.
Commissio ned by The Chopin Society of Hong Kong Ltd., my piano solo work PLUM BLOSSOM was written for the 5th Hong Kong International Piano Competition, for all 15 semi-finalists to perform as the compulsory piece in October 2019.In Chinese culture, the plum blossom symbolizes nobility, elegance, perseverance, independence, and faithfulness.The pitch material of the piece is taken from the beginning of the popular Cantonese children’s song “Moonlight.” There are developments of the initial material in variations throughout the piece, featuring expressions of the image with varied performing techniques for both hands, with the textures in layers.

Composed in honor of famed Japanese conductor Toshio Akiyama, Sensei's Ride On The Cherry Blossom Express is based upon his love for trains and, in particular, the classic SL D51 steam engine. Our musical journey by train begins at the station in Omiya and takes us on a ride through the most beautiful of countrysides. The scenery is breathtaking and includes the famed cherry blossoms (sakura). Contemporary, yet very accessible to all audiences, this immaginative work for the symphonic band will be a valued addition to any concert program.
