Program Notes
The idea of the composition comes from the Chinese Li - meaning energy. In nature, energy is found in many forms and states. The forces of nature are always powerful and constantly evolving in unpredictable manners. In this piece the energy of four fundamental elements is captured in four units: light, water, wind and fire. Each movement represents a distinct musical subject which is unique in sound, mood, colour and instrumental technique. This work displays the various special virtuosity and musicality of the performers.[1]
