#SNYCOSoundbites – The Silk Road

Concert: SNYCO Hits of past, Classics of Present
Date: 20 March 2021

Composed by Jiang Ying

The world-famous silk road is not only a meeting point of rich musical cultures, but also interweaves legendary dialogues and conversations across the world’s four great civilizations. The composer has milked the colouristic qualities of Chinese instruments to their hilt by exploring distinct tonal qualities from western music and incorporating elements from world music. The musical structure is open and ever-changing, engaging the inner momentum and energy of orchestra which gradually and eventually climax in a resounding emotional high. The final result is an aural portrait of brilliant sunshine on walls of sand in the desert. The same musical high point is also experienced as a transformation of dreams into a passion for life, galvanized by communities and tribes from all corners of the world, each eager to imagine a world full of hope, mystery and wonder. The Silk Road is also known as kumtag.
