To the New Century Rhapsody to the Rising sun 中國暢想曲第四號《布農之歌》 An Ensemble for Flute, Clarinet, Strings, Piano,Erhu, Yangqin, Ruan and Zheng in Bunungese Style by An-lun Huang, Op.59[April, 2000] Commissioned by the MusicCanadaMusique2000 Dedicated to James Campbell, “Rhapsody to the Rising Sun” is a commission of the MusicCanadaMusique 2000. The five Chinese traditional instruments being used for this ensemble, are: Erhu 二胡 - “Chinese Violin” Yangqin 揚琴 - “Chinese Ducimer” Ruan 中阮 - “Chinese Lute” 2 Zhengs 古箏 - “Chinese Zither” The composition of this piece is based on the original musical materials of Bunung布農. The Bunungese is a minority group of natives who live on the island of Formosa台灣. Ethnically speaking, they originated from the Micronesian race rather than from the “Han”, the Chinese majority who accounts for ninety-seven percent of the population. The pentatonic mode is often found in Chinese folk tunes, in which a triad chord is seldom found. However, the Bunungese actually “enjoy” the sonority (the pitch and the tone) of the major triad. The modern civilization has yet to adapt to their wild and natural style. Usually, their folk song would be a chorale led by a leading singer, followed by the crowd. In the morning, facing the rising sun, the people with their colourful clothes, gather in a circle and dance to the rhythmic music. Located in far east Asia, the Bunungese may well be the first people to praise the rising sun to celebrate the new century with songs and dances. This is the reason why the composer chose to complete the commission in the Bunugese style. 此录音为2000年黄安伦指挥加拿大室内乐团在帕里桑音乐节首演的实况.钢琴是欧阳瑞丽,民乐部份由多伦多的敦煌室乐团担任.
