#SCOSoundbites #SCO音乐摘录 – Zheng He - Admiral of the Seven Seas, Mvt 1: The Voyage《海上第一人——郑和》第一乐章《海路》

Concert: Charms of Nanyang Date: 25 March 2023 Composed by Law Wai Lun This large-scaled symphonic epic incorporates many artistic forms, and was premiered in Singapore Arts Festival 2005, in conjunction with the 600th year anniversary celebrations of Zheng He’s expedition to the West. This piece is arranged from the third and sixth chapters of the original piece, and utilises only Chinese orchestral music in presenting the work. This composition won the Honorary Award in the Singapore International Competition for Chinese Orchestral Composition 2006. I. First Movement: The Voyage - The melody consists of five parts: Celebrations, Sailing, Sea Route, Thunderstorms and Anchoring. They illustrate the majestic scene whereby Zheng He leads a large troupe of ships in traveling down to the West seven times. II. Second Movement: The Vow - The introduction played by the flute lightly portrays a picture of tropical scenes. It is followed by energetic and vigorous melody that recapitulates the festive scene at the wedding of the Sultan and the Princess from China. It illustrates the joyous dancing and celebratory moments, on top of portraying the moving love of this pair of lovers who come from extremely different and distant countries. First Movement: The Voyage will be performed in the concert.
