Description

The Emperor Zhou, who reigned in China around the ninth century BC, is generally attributed as the creator of the Iching which is a series of texts that help interpret thoughts and dreams.  The work starts with an expanse of harmonics that shroud a truly plaintive melody. This leads into an energetic section that evoke many aspects of what one would imagine to be  a vibrant life in ancient China.  All sections of the orchestra are featured effectively.  At one point all the main themes are combined to create a truly dreamlike state.  The work concludes with thrilling cascades of repeated sixteenth notes.
