about

The piece begins with a rather lonely and gloomy theme: it “outlines the profile of a lonely city, barren mountains, and the desolate crescent moon”, as KH described. Followed by the waltz rhythm of the cello, we see movements under the dim, wandering lights just like a solo dancer, lightly echoed by sounds of the xiao. As the song reaches its second half, where the xiao leads, the resounding tone describes a rhythmic dance performed under the moonlight. Life is full of unresolved matters, which is imperfect and incomplete - just like the way this piece ends.

樂曲以一段比較孤寂、蒼涼的主題開展,據KH描述是「勾勒出孤城荒山,缺月孤懸的輪廓」。接著由大提琴演繹三拍子的旋律,就如獨舞者的獨白,在恍惚的光影中漫溯,中間穿插着洞簫暗微的迴聲,逐漸轉入後面以洞簫為主的部分,以清朗的音色描畫月下舞步跌宕的情景。人世間往往充滿未能解決的事。就如此曲的結末,懸而未完,圓而未圓。(KH)
