12. Flying Dragons and Jumping Tigers

Composed by: Li Min-Xiong

The music is derived from the Zhejiang gong and drum piece. Long Tou Long Wei ( Dragon Head and Dragon Tail ) and is impressive with its immensely heightened emotions and strong ethnic colour. In a unique architecture, the diverse timbre of drums and the varying rhythms are executed by the groups of drummers performing at different levels, thus opening up new horizons in ensemble music for drums. The alternating passages between the leading playing and the ensembles paint an overwhelming scene of grandeur. In the last section, the theme and the drums echo each other in a description of the valiant and the brave.

12. 龍騰虎躍

李民雄曲

樂曲以浙東鑼鼓(龍頭龍尾)的音調變化發展而成、氣勢磅礴,情緒熾烈,並富於濃郁的民族風格。作者以獨特的構思,巧妙地利用不同鼓的相異音色和節奏的多樣組合,並加之群鼓­表演的多層次立體效果,拓展了鼓樂合奏的新形式。其中領奏和合奏的段落交替拱托,渲染出氣勢壯闊的塲面。樂曲最後部份,主題旋律和鼓聲交相嗚奏,震撼人心,表現出人們如龍­騰虎躍,奮勇果敢的氣勢。
