《我在茶果嶺看過的五種日出》The Five Types of Sunrise I Have Seen in Cha Kwo Ling (2023)
for cello ensemble Commissioned by by Hong Kong International Cello Association Limited in 2023 with sponsorship from CASH Music Fund. Programme Notes 我曾經在茶果嶺住了大概20年，深深感受到茶果嶺這個地方的特別之處。小時候從官塘搬過去的時候，明明只隔了一條官塘道，感覺卻像去了另一個世界。其中一個原因是因為茶果嶺非常安靜，除了居民之外其他人根本就不會有興趣走進去。這就造就了茶果嶺這個明明與官塘市區很接近，但又特別寧靜，特別平和的感覺。 小時候晚睡的機會不多，印象中到大概高中時期才比較自由，然後有時因為打遊戲或看球賽的原因，偶爾會看到日出。由於近海的關係，看到的風景會有很多的顏色變化。直至大概幾年前，我也偶爾會看到未曾看過的顏色。 在《我在茶果嶺看過的五種日出》入面，我嘗試描繪五種不同的日出顏色，有些比較陰沉，有些則比較活潑。在最後的樂章，我希望以海水反射閃亮的銀色，去總結我在茶果嶺的日子。 I have lived in Cha Two Ling for about 20 years and deeply experienced the uniqueness of this place. When I moved here from Kwun Tong as a child, although…
