Arana Li - Mysteries

from Between the Keys by Ensemble Offspring

/

about

As with many of my works, Mysteries shows a preoccupation with the Chinese Ménglóng Shi Rén poets, specifically the work of Bei Dao. Much of my work has sought to capture similar quality of fertile ambiguity. Although not written for voice, I still vocalise fragments of Dao’s text as a means of generating melodic contour and phrasing. A rhythmically free work structured in four sections, Mysteries plays out as a multilayered dialogue oscillating between instruments (the earthy sound of the clarinis against the airy sound of the tarhu) and between two competing modes found within Grady’s colourful intonation.
