Deer Enclosure
HUANG Wei(701-761)

I see no one in mountain deep,
But hear a voice in the ravine.
Through the dense wood the sunbeams peep,
And are reflected on mosses green.

The poem sets off the secluded mountain and the gloomy forest by contrasts from the voice and peeping sunbeams, depicting the void and solitude without any rising tension. In the same way, the music refers to the structure and aesthetics of the poem, plainly revealing the atmosphere mentioned by the poet.

《鹿柴》
王維(701-761)

空山不見人,但聞人語響。
反景入深林,復照青苔上。

全詩以反襯手法呈現幽靜的山和陰暗的林,沒有明確指向高潮的張力,只是描寫當中的虛空寂靜;音樂同樣地參考詩中的結構和美學,平實地表現詩人所述的氣氛。

此曲由綠韻委約,為世界⻘少年合唱節2015 C組-當代⾳樂合唱而作。
