Reflecting on
the changes to our world caused by three years of pandemic, Ming Wang has written a piece in the spirit of a prayer that civilization may emerge from darkness into light. She has sought to remember those who lost their lives during this sombre period, as well as those who remain fragile, anxious or bereft of hope. In compositional terms, the work follows a harmonic and dynamic process leading from a bleak, dismal chromatic zone to a magnificent, transparent world of sound, ending in an aura of optimism that, as the shadows disperse, we shall find ourselves back on the path towards enlightenment.
