    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.

    Chin, Haydn Symphony No.60 1st Movement
    This arrangement for strings is faithful to the original work with the added features of sharing the melodic lines, a slight editing of a few bars of the bass part, a violin 3 part and a keyboard realization. It is also an excellent way to develop Classical style spiccato in more advanced players.
