Aurora (‘polar light’) is a natural phenomenon characterised by the spectacular swirling streamers of reddish or greenish light in the sky near the North or South Pole. In Roman mythology, Aurora is the goddess of the dawn who dances across the sky to announce the arrival of the sun.
I had images of moving refracted lights in my mind when I was composing the piece. The refracted lights are symbolised by the timbral diversions of the continuation of the layering of melodic lines. Melodies play an important role in this piece. The two wind instruments, the flute and clarinet, are treated mainly as melodic instruments, playing expansive and expressive lines, which are always coloured, swashed, layered, thickened and extended by the sounds played by the string instruments. The piano is treated as a percussion instrument, not in the sense of providing beats, but rhythmically decorating the melodic lines.
Commissioned by the Hong Kong Composers’ Guild, this piece is written for Ensemble TIMF. This piece was premiered by Ensemble TIMF on 23 October 2008.
