    Two Night Pieces  by Stephen Chin

    As the sun sets and the darkness envelops the world, the Midnight Serenade awakens. The haunting melody, which is first heard by the second violins, sends shivers down the spine and sets the tone for the rest of the piece. The lilting waltz-like accompaniment adds a touch of elegance to the eerie melody, creating a unique and captivating atmosphere.

    Dark Train is a powerful and driving composition that is based on a simple three-note ostinato. The repetitive pattern creates a sense of urgency and momentum as if the train is rushing through the night. The whistle effects that can be heard throughout the piece add a layer of realism and excitement as if the train is passing by right in front of the audience.

    Overall, these two pieces are a testament to the power of music to evoke emotions and transport the listener to another world.

    The Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) was a remarkable period in China’s history, characterised by extensive exploration and the expansion of trade routes to Europe, Africa, and the Indian Ocean, which resulted in a nearly doubled population. The Imperial Court became a hub for the arts, showcasing a diverse range of talents in literature, music, painting, sculpture, and ceramics.

    Frantic By Stephen Chin

    Intense and emotional, the music evokes feelings of desperation, anxiety, and frenzy. The dark tones of G minor and rapid rhythm create a menacing atmosphere. The hammering rhythm eventually overtakes a noble melody played by the cellos.
