The piece was composed
for the wedding ceremony of the composers second son. This
pleasant and lively composition is divided into five parts, a small rondo form.
The first theme is in Zi-pentatonic mode, mainly play by flute. The main theme
is later transposed a fifth higher and orchestrated between the oboe, clarinet
and bassoon parts.
The second theme is in
a slower, more sentimental mood. It builds up as a contrast section to the
first theme. French horn plays the traditional Wedding Song of the Puyuma tribe
and dominates in this section.
In the third part of
this composition, the melodic line returns to the first theme, transformed to
D-flat Zi-pentatonic mode. The oboe plays the main theme and later the clarinet
plays the variations of this melodic line.
The fourth section
brings out the third theme of this piece: a traditional Atayal tribes "Jew Harp Song" melody that plays by the
bassoon. This passionate, fast-tempo dancing theme is then composed into
several variations and plays by oboe and clarinet.
In the last section of
the composition, the first theme returns again. Building up and reaches the
climax then leads to the final of the piece.
Professor Ma selected
two aboriginal tribal songs, related to weddings and love, and quoted them in
this piece and presented as a wedding gift for his beloved son. This father-son
relationship and love, and also this unique composition, made that wedding
ceremony a memorable event for the guests.
This piece was premiered in 2002 at The Landis Taipei
Hotel by Fu-Ming Huang (Flute), Chien-Chih Hung (Oboe),
Jen-Hwa Huang (Clarinet), Yi-Fen Kuo (Bassoon) and Yih-Duen Huang (Horn).
