    Two Postcards from Beijing  by Stephen Chin (Grade 1.5)

    Beijing is a city that truly comes alive in the summer, with its many gardens offering a peaceful escape from the bustling streets. As the sun sets, the air is filled with the sweet fragrance of jasmine, creating a magical atmosphere for a nocturnal stroll. 

    The musical piece "Jasmine Nights" is a beautiful composition that captures the essence of this experience. It uses the pentatonic scale, a traditional Chinese musical scale, to create a soothing and calming effect. The gentle dissonances and tone clusters add a touch of complexity to the piece, making it a delight for the ears.

    As the night progresses, the city comes alive with the sounds of celebration. "Dragon Fire" is a dynamic musical piece that captures the excitement and wonderment of a Chinese New Year festival. The music is full of energy and passion, with the pounding of drums and the clash of cymbals creating a sense of anticipation and excitement. It's a piece that truly captures the spirit of Beijing and its vibrant culture.
