MESSAGE FROM CONCERT CURATOR, MR FRED CHAN HONG WEI
Earth: Unheard —
Seeking Resonance in the Depths of Culture
“Earth: Unheard” is more than just a concert title — it embodies a deeper reflection and heartfelt hope for what this musical journey aspires to be. It is a window that invites us to listen closely to the voices rooted deep within the soil of culture, often buried beneath the noise of modern life.
The land we live on has nurtured a wealth of folk traditions, ancient spiritual beliefs, and imaginative myths and legends. These cultural elements, like scattered notes across the earth, may not always take centre stage, but they form the vibrant and essential hues of human civilisation. The inspiration for this concert lies in the desire to uncover and honour these cultural undercurrents.
Music has the unique power to transcend boundaries and speak directly to the heart. The carefully curated programme in this concert — though diverse in style — shares a common thread: a reverence for traditional roots and a spirit of contemporary creativity. Each piece flows like a melody from deep within the earth, telling stories of people and places, expressing universal emotions shaped by distinct cultural landscapes.
We are honoured to have Professor Hu Yu — renowned banhu virtuoso from the Central Conservatory of Music — as the Artistic Advisor for this concert. With his masterful musicianship and unwavering dedication to the preservation and evolution of Chinese traditional music, Professor Hu brings profound insight and artistic depth to this programme.
“Unheard” does not mean silence — it refers to sounds that ask us to slow down, to listen intently, and to discover their quiet power. Through Earth: Unheard, we hope to offera moment of pause amidst the clamour of daily life, and to guide our audience toward those rare, resonant voices that dwell deep within ourculturalmemory—timeless,moving,and alive.
Fred Chan Hong Wei Curator/Concertmaster
《大地希声》 音乐会策划， 陈宏伟先生献词
《大地希声》—探寻文化深处的共鸣 “大地希声”，这四个字凝结着我对本次音乐会 深沉的思考与期盼。它不仅仅是一个标题，更是一 扇窗，引领我们探寻那些深植于文化沃土，却常常 被喧嚣所掩盖的声音。
我们所居住的这片土地，都孕育了丰富多彩的民间 艺术、古老的宗教信仰以及充满奇思妙想的传说 故事。这些文化元素如同散落在“大地” 各处的音 符，或许不常占据舞台中央，却构成了人类文明 不一样的色彩。本次音乐会的构思，正是源于对 这些深层文化底蕴的探寻。
音乐拥有穿越界限、直抵人心的力量。本次音乐会 精心挑选的曲目，虽然风格各异，却都饱含着对 传统文化根脉的追溯以及对当代音乐表达的创新。
它们仿佛是从“大地”深处缓缓流淌的旋律，诉说 着不同地域、不同文化背景下的人文故事，传递着 那些共通的情感与体验。
本场音乐会非常荣幸邀请到著名板胡演奏家、 中央音乐学院的胡瑜教授担任本次音乐会的艺术 指导。胡瑜教授不仅以其精湛的演奏技艺蜚声乐 坛，更对中国传统音乐的传承与发展怀有深切的 责任感。他的加入，无疑为本次音乐会注入了更为 深厚的艺术底蕴和学术价值。
“希声”并非悄然无息，而是那些需要我们放慢脚 步、凝神倾听，才能领略其独特韵味的声音。我们 希望通过《大地希声》这场音乐会，引导大家在日常 的喧嚣之外，驻足片刻，倾听那些来自文化深处、 平时或许不被常听见的声响，感受那份历久弥新的 文化生命力。

节目简介
Echoes of the Mountain 《唤 •山歌》
A sorrowful cry echoes through the mist, summoning vibrant, youthful souls.
Sing, dance, march forward—let life bloom with energy and passion!
Three Folk Sentiments 《民俗三则》
Three Folk Sentiments is a Chinese chamber work in three movements: Rising Sun, Lament, and Comic Interlude. Each movement captures a distinct and familiar emotion in everyday life—joy, longing, and humour.
Rising Sun draws inspiration from Wang Anshih’s poem New Year’s Day, particularly the line “While the rising sun shines over each and every household”, evoking the warmth and cheer of sunlight flooding homes. Lament references a classical Chinese poetic form that expresses grief, separation and mortality. Comic Interlude refers to a traditional form of light-hearted banter often seen in folk performance arts, adding a touch of wit and playfulness to the suite.

Yang Yong 杨勇
民乐八重奏《民俗三则》包括第一乐章《瞳日》、第二 乐章《七哀》和第三乐章《打诨》。乐曲通过这三个 乐章分别表现人们生活中三种最典型的情绪：阳光 快乐、思念忧伤和诙谐幽默。“瞳日”取自王安石的 《元日》“千门万户曈曈日”，呈现灿烂阳光照进千 家万户的喜悦；“七哀”为中国传统诗歌体裁，表现 离别、痛苦、死亡等；“打诨”即“插科打诨”，是众多 民间表演艺术中常见的形式。
Mahākāla, transliterated as “Mahāgala” in Chinese, is regarded in Hinduism as a manifestation of Shiva, depicted with six arms symbolising destruction and battle. In Buddhism, he is seen as an incarnation of Maheshvara, with Avalokiteśvara (Guanyin) infusing him with divine consciousness to serve as a Dharma protector who vanquishes evil and bestows blessings. In Tibetan Buddhism, Mahākāla is closely associated with Avalokiteśvara, practising the Four EnlightenedActivities—pacifying,enriching, magnetising, and subjugating — to dispel karma and demons, prolong life, enhance wisdom, grant spiritual freedom, and guide sentientbeings.
This composition is inspired by the poem Mahākāla Deity byXiaoXue,aBaiethnicpoet from China. The composer seeks to portray his personal devotion to Mahākāla through music, reimagining the deity’s image and associated mythology. Drawing from Indian classical music Raga, the piece symbolises the

Indian tradition of Mahākāla worship. Folk elements such as the Bai ethnic song Moonlit Love Song represent the Chinese Mahākāla belief, while motifs from the guqin piece Li Sao thread through the composition — crafting a musical work that is rich in ethnic identity, global influence, ritualistic spirit, theatrical expression, and experimental creativity.
大黑天（Mahākāla），音译玛哈嘎拉，在印度教中被 视为湿婆的化身，拥有六只手臂，象征破坏与战斗； 在佛教中被视为大自在天的化身，由观音注入神 识，成为护法，降妖除魔、赐予福德；而在藏传佛教 中，大黑天常随侍观音，修炼息、增、怀、诛四种事业 法——消业除魔、延寿增慧、获得自在、度化众生。
本作品灵感来自中国白族诗人晓雪的诗作《大黑天 神》，作曲者希望通过音符呈现他个人信仰中的大 黑天形象与相关神话。作品融合印度古典音乐“拉 格”的元素，象征印度大黑天信仰；并采撷白族民歌 《月下情歌》等民族素材，象征中国的大黑天信仰； 同时以古琴曲《离骚》的音乐语汇贯穿其中，构建出 一部兼具民族性、世界性、仪式性、戏剧性与实验性 的多元创作。
Barong Dance
The Barong Dance is an iconic traditional Balinese performance, dramatising the eternal struggle between good and evil. Barong, a divine forest guardian embodied by two dancers in a lion-like costume, faces its nemesis Rangda, the witch queen of the Leyak, who spreads terror with her black magic. The sheng solo piece Barong Dance incorporates Balinese gamelan elements to evoke their legendary battle.
The piece bursts forth with scintillating tutti passages in the gong kebyar style, woven from the Balinese pelog selisir scale (approximating 1 3 4 5 7 in cipher notation). The sheng’s vibratos mimic the acoustical beating of paired gongs at similar pitches. As Barong enters, the sheng introduces the ‘Barong theme’ in the selisir scale, while the accompaniment emulates gamelan gongs and textures. Next, the accompaniment takes up the theme as the sheng conjures impressions of interlocking metallophones.
As the scale shifts to pelog tembung (cipher notation: 6 7 1 3 4), the tune turns sinister as black magic permeates the village. The tempo accelerates to an allegro, and Rangda erupts with her grotesque ‘Rangda theme’. The ‘Barong’ and ‘Rangda’ themes engage in contrapuntal combat, depicting Barong and the warriors clashing with the demon queen. At combat’s crux, Rangda curses the warriors to stab themselves with their keris daggers, symbolised by the inverted ‘Barong theme’.
In response to this crisis, Barong conjures a protective spell, rendering the warriors invulnerable under the bitonal incantation of the ‘Barong theme’. With Rangda in retreat, her theme descends stepwise into the abyss. The ‘Barong theme’ is reprised in C major,
Wang Chenwei 王辰威 Composed by 作曲
heralding the heroes’ victory, and the sheng’s selisir-scale fireworks blaze towards a jubilant conclusion.
Originally composed for sheng and piano in 2020, Barong Dance was commissioned and published by the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. In 2025, composer Wang Chenwei adapted it for sheng and chamber ensemble as a commission from Singapore’s Ding Yi Music Company.
巴龙舞是印尼巴厘岛具代表性的传统舞剧，演绎 善与恶的永恒对抗。巴龙（Barong）是森林守护神， 由双人操纵狮形道具表演。让达（Rangda）是飞头 蛮妖后，以黑巫术作孽。笙独奏曲《巴龙舞》融入 巴厘甘美兰元素，叙述正邪千古之战。
乐曲以闪烁的 gong kebyar 式全奏轰然启幕，采 用巴厘甘美兰的 pelog selisir 音阶（简谱记谱约为 1 3 4 5 7）。笙的震音技法模拟音高相近的合击铜锣 产生的差频效应。随着巴龙出场，笙奏出 selisir 音 阶的「巴龙主题」，伴奏烘托出甘美兰的低音铜锣声 及其音乐织体。继而伴奏声部呈现「巴龙主题」，笙 则仿效交错叠置的高音金属乐器。
音阶转为pelog tembung（简谱 6 7 1 3 4），曲调渐 染邪气，如黑魔法渗透村落。乐曲提速至快板，妖后 随狰狞的「让达主题」出场。「巴龙」与「让达」主题交 替呈现，描述巴龙和武士们与妖后缠斗。激战巅峰， 妖后下咒，迫使武士们用克里斯短剑自残（由「巴龙 主题」的倒影象征）。
危急关头，巴龙挺身施法，令武士们刃甲不侵， 「巴龙主题」呈双调性，散发神光。随着妖后节节 败退，「让达主题」也步步降低。「巴龙主题」转回 C 调重现，一众英雄凯旋而归，笙以璀璨烟花般的 selisir音阶将终章推向欢腾的高潮。
《巴龙舞》原为笙与钢琴而作，完成于 2020 年， 由上海音乐学院委约并出版。2025 年，作曲者 王辰威应新加坡鼎艺团委约，将其改编为笙与 室内乐版本。
Polyphonic Returns
Inspired by He Jingzhi’s poetic work Return to Yan’an, this work draws from verses imbued with agrarian symbolism — “clutching the loess soil” and “millet and grains” — to construct a ritualistic soundscape of the Loess Plateau (yellow earth in west China). The musical motifs traverse three epochs of cultural metamorphosis over seven decades: the 1950s’ blue stripes of “sheep-belly towels” morph into a musical staff, as pioneers of the era resonate with the visceral vibrations of “Xintianyou” folk songs, to 1970s’ existential canon, when the embroidered pouch of “Mother’s Heart” tethers the souls of sentdown youths, then to the New Era’s quantum nostalgia and home-sick, with the rhythms of Ansai waist drums transfigured into a primordial genetic code, reimagining the ethos of the “Loess Highlands” through superstring folk harmonies. The rugged and tender banhu sings to starry sky, scattering “handfuls of yellow earth” toward celestial realms.
In the end, the folk melody The East is Red ascends as a gentle sunrise, counterpoint with the “sheep-belly towel” motif, collapsing temporal and spatial dimensions. It’s like the bell chimes of Beijing’s Telegraph Tower conversing with the refrain “How many times have I returned to Yan’an in my dreams?” Here, “endless returns” transcend mere cyclical variation, becoming a spatiotemporal folding of loess DNA—a modernist projection of ancestral memory. The intertwining canon and double counterpoint echo the resonance and reflection of individual voices within the torrent of the times.

作品以贺敬之《回延安》为精神坐标，选取“手抓 黄土”、“糜子和谷”等 具有农耕符号的诗句，构建出 黄土高原的仪式场域。从诗行中裂变的音符，在七 十年间经历三次文明跃迁：从50年代的赤子脉冲 —羊肚肚手巾的蓝条纹化作五线谱、初代建设者在 信天游的胸腔共振中夯筑精神长城，到70年代“娘 的心” 针线包牵挂着知青、黄土沟壑间奏响存在主 义卡农，再到新时代的量子乡愁—安塞腰鼓节奏 被转译成原生的基因代码，在超弦民谣中重构“黄 土高坡”情怀， 用板胡的苍劲和柔美仰望浩瀚的星 空，将“手抓黄土”撒向天宫。最后，民歌《东方红》 似朝阳温和升起，与“羊肚肚手巾”对位交叠，实 现了时空维度的变换，仿佛北京电报大楼钟声与 “几回回梦里回延安”呼应。此时，“几回回”不再 只是回旋变奏的线性轮回，而是黄土基因的时空 折叠；卡农与复对位的交织往复，犹如时代洪流中 个体声音的共鸣与映照。
