2025衛武營國際音樂節 Weiwuying International Music Festival: Premiere of “Feral” (24.4.18)

Categories -

The premiere of my newest work Feral is set for the 18th April 2025 in the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts- Weiwuying, performed by the dedicated and exciting Weiwuying New Music Ensemble. It feels great to have finished this piece. Knowing many of the players who are due to premiere the work, I really found myself not merely writing for a flute, or a clarinet, but for specific musicians, imagining the sound, personality and even the thought-processes of those individuals as I composed. The last time I had such a performer-specific compositional experience was when I composed Red Cliff for my own Holloway Children’s Choir back in 2019.

我的最新作品《返璞歸埜》將於2025年4月18日在國家高雄表演藝術中心衛武營首演,由充滿熱情與活力的「衛武營新音樂團」演出。能完成這部作品,讓我感到十分欣喜。由於我對多位即將參與首演的樂手都相當熟悉,在創作的過程中我發現自己並非只是在為長笛或單簧管,等這樣的樂器而譜寫,而是在為特定的音樂家寫作,一邊想像他們的音色、個性,甚至他們的思維模式。上一次我有如此「以演奏者為核心」的創作經驗,還是在2019年,為我自己的霍洛威童聲合唱團(Holloway Children’s Choir)創作《赤壁》時。

Read about composing Feral at my creative diary. This is an ongoing diary: I shall use it to document the rehearsal, correction and performance processes in the coming months.

歡迎閱讀我的創作日記中關於《返璞歸埜》一曲的創作歷程。這份日記將持續更新,我計劃在未來幾個月裡將排練、修訂以及演出過程的點滴都記錄在其中。
