    Two Treasures from the Ming Dynasty (Stephen Chin) for String Orchestra

    The Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) was a remarkable period in China’s history, characterised by extensive exploration and the opening of trade routes to Europe, Africa, and across the Indian Ocean. During this time, China's population doubled. The Imperial Court became the center of a flourishing arts scene, producing remarkable achievements in literature, music, painting, sculpture, and ceramics. It also served as a gathering place for important visitors from distant countries.

    In the arts, the calming image of the lotus and the dynamic portrayal of horses were often used to express the serenity and strength of the court. The music of this era featured sustained notes, open strings, harmonics, energetic retakes, and driving quavers, all of which reflected these sentiments.
