Novas. (Original composition);

[摘要] Novas is a work for orchestra which attempts to portray unbounded energy. It is not in any sense a programmatic work about novas. It is, however, about the energy in such things as novas. Similar energy is exhibited, on a much smaller scale, in things such as a seed sprouting forth. It is no less a revolutionary event for the seed sprouting as it is for the star going nova. The nature of the energy is the same: outward-directed, unbound, exuberant, transforming. This piece attempts to portray, through various musical lenses, the numerous guises of this energy which is present throughout the cosmos.
