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.

The Cliffs of Moher, rising about 200 meters above the Atlantic on Ireland's west coast, are home to many birds and sea life, such as grey seals and dolphins. In this work, I aimed to capture the feeling of sea spray, the beauty of green pastures, and the vibrant atmosphere of nearby towns, using musical textures such as pizzicato, sustained notes, bass melodies, and a reflective violin solo.

Pleyel, a renowned musician and entrepreneur in early 19th century Paris, wrote a beautiful piece for two violins in the late Classical style. The piece follows the sonata form and features a brooding first theme contrasted with an impish second theme played in staccato quavers. The movement ends with a lively duel between the violins, adding vibrancy and passion to the piece. Your orchestra will love it!
