Description
Zhou Long's Nine Odes was commissioned by Maestro Long Yu, Chairman of the Beijing Music Festival Arts Foundation, for the organization. Zhou's setting marks the first time that a full, large-scale, symphonic epic interpretation of the entire eleven chapters of Qu Yuan's Nine Odes has been attempted. The work includes combinations of solos, duets, and quartets with large orchestra to create musically vivid characters, while depicting various aspects of the Han-Chu culture. Nine Odes is dedicated to Zhou's wife, Composer Chen Yi, in honor of her 60th birthday.
