In Xanadu did Kubla Khan                                           

A stately pleasure-dome decree:                                       

Where Alph the sacred river ran                                  

Through caverns measureless to man                        

Down to a sunless sea. -  S T Coleridge.       

Xanadu is the third and final work in the series containing The Bells of Ghengis Khan and Battle at the Great Wall.  Kubla Khan, the grandson of Ghengis Khan, was by contrast a leader who was interested in the finer aspects of living such as literature, music and calligraphy.  Clashing chords, piquant harmonies and a wide range of accessible string effects will ignite much enthusiasm in younger players.

Two Grieg Lyric Pieces By Grieg Arr. Stephen Chin

Grieg's music is rooted in Norwegian folk songs. The "Watchman's Song" has a ghostly section conveyed through tremolo. A melancholic waltz follows, evoking a troll's cave. The contrast of keys and playing styles can refine any ensemble.

Battle At The Great Wall By Stephen Chin

This work is a companion to “Bells of Ghengis Khan”, featuring insistent rhythms and pounding fifths that create a sense of impending conflict. The middle section depicts soldiers reflecting upon their loved ones before the battle resumes, with victors’ shouts heard towards the end. The piece uses techniques such as harmonics, tremolo, and pizzicato to add richness to the tone colours.
