Chan Ning-chi 陳能濟：Cherishing Thoughts of the Red Cliff 赤壁懷古

Inspired by the Sung Dynasty 宋朝 poem of the same title, the work is a pianistic expression of the mood and atmosphere as painted by the poem, namely, the grandeur of Chinese landscape and with it the reminiscence of past heroic events.
The music begins with a simple but effective depiction of the ancient battle site of Red Cliff 赤壁, silent and mysterious, suggestive of the faint sound of distant bugles. This is then followed by various scenes in the poem. The music ends in a contemplative mood, conveying a feeling of helplessness of human beings when faced with the giant and unswerving steps of history.
《念奴嬌‧赤壁懷古》by 蘇軾(東坡)
大江東去，浪淘盡，千古風流人物。
故壘西邊，人道是，三國周郎赤壁。
亂石崩雲，驚濤裂岸，捲起千堆雪；
江山如畫，一時多少豪傑。
遙想公瑾當年，小喬初嫁了，雄姿英發，
羽扇綸巾，談笑間，強虜灰飛煙滅。
故國神遊，多情應笑我，早生華發。
人生如夢，一尊還酹江月。
陳慧妍 (Piano)
