about

Words from the composer:

Four Reflections was written in dedication to a friend and an admirable instrumentalist, Lim Chun, who had also inspired my viola concerto. Composed with the viola in mind, Four Reflections has also been performed on the violin (transposed up a fifth). There are meditative qualities in this work that perhaps reveal an influence of my mother, a devout Buddhist. Expressing various states of reflection using natural harmonics as sound material, each movement reflects briefly on the previous movement in an interlocking form akin to the alternation found in the rhyming scheme of pantun poetry. The four brief reflections are:

1. Reflective
2. Ethereal, with a sense of freedom
3. Lighthearted; Dream-like
4. Spirited
