Programme Note
Premiere:
April 26, 2002
Brooklyn Philharmonic
Robert Spano, conductor
Brooklyn, NY
Composer Note:
Based on a typical Tibetan dance rhythm, this work tries to evoke both the beauty and the savagery of a particular mountain dance, an expressive dance well-known for swinging the long sleeves of its traditional costumes and for its rhythmic foot stomps.
