Product Description
This work was inspired by a collection of Chinese poetry titled "A Chinese Garden of Serenity" from which this piece of music derives its title. It is an atmospheric piece consisting of a succession of episodes which alternately express sound in the service of time in sacred calmness and serenity.
The contemplative sounds of the Flute, Harp, Celesta, Crotales, Woodblock, Violin, Viola and Cello, unfold to reach a serene state of mind through the individual sounds meant to help transcend our body to float to other realms. The piece should be listened to and played with the greatest interior calm, without distractions, for it is a meditative experience. The mystique of Chinese Buddhist philosophy; no words and no silence are the way to truth, is contained within the music. A music that hopes to provide the framework for inner exploration through sounds without tempo or obvious structure, notes without boundaries, without argument.
