A Returned boat in the Snow River (2013) for Chinese ensemble
归棹一词多见于中国古代文人诗歌与画作中,具有回归本处之 意。这首乐曲采用北宋赵佶同名画为标题,试图以音乐的方式 展示长卷画作中“水远无波,天长一色,群山皎洁,鼓棹中流 ,落叶萧疏,雪江归棹”的自然意象。
The term “gui zhao” means return and is usually showed in the poems and the ink paintings by Chinese ancient scholars. This piece employed the same title of the paining by Zhao Ji in the Northern Song Dynasty. It attempts to present the natural and artistic conception of the scroll painting by music. The original poem as follows: water without waves in the far away, sky and water change to the same color, mountains are bright and clear, a small boat with a scull floats in the river, sparse fallen leaves, a returned boat in the snow river.
