Composed by Tao Li for the Intercultural Composition Concert at the Oregon Bach Festival Composers Symposium, on July 3rd, 2018 in the Aasen-Hull Hall.
This concert featured artists of Sinakhoe (Society for New Korean Music) and the Oregon Wind Quintet (including Molly Barth, Wonkak Kim, & Steve Vacchi) in a collaboration of traditional Korean instruments and Western classical ensembles.
There are many qualities of the Korean aesthetic employed in "Four Scenes" - various vibrato techniques, like the traditional instruments use to embellish their melodies; accelerating tempos; and punctuated percussive techniques.
Spellbinding ensemble songs with gently pulsing melodies, this is filmic music inspired by love, loss, & redemption. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 13, 2021
