Sextet for Grass Mountain Memory

Abstract¡G
The Grass Mountain Memory is a Sextet for Flute, Oboe, two Violins, Cello and Piano, in the period form 1999 to early 2000. It consists of three sections which are:¡qThe Secret Garden¡r,¡qNight of Towering Peak¡r, and¡qThe Fireworks¡r. The subtitles represent the composer's vivid recollections of the particular mountain. The three sections are tightly linked together with related musical elements, yet distinguished with their specific features.
My realization and beautiful experience to the Grass Mountain (Known as Yangming Mountain today, located on the north outskirt of Taipei) are interwoven in the time and space of recollection, and manifested in music through the responses of the intellect and sentiment. This piece does not present the landscape by means of mimicking the sounds of nature, but created with the visual, hearing and all feelings out of the composer's personal aesthetic experience with the natural landscape. The effects are different from that of representational simulations of natural environment done traditionally. The core of the creation lies with personal understanding of nature, and expressed via music.
