Description: strs, pipa, erhu, zheng, yang qin, male chorus "The work was sheerly transfixing. [Chen] is not only a master of orchestration, musical texture and instrumental color. In addition, she has the rare ability to manipulate, then integrate musical forces of different characters and sizes. Sealing the deal, she proves to be a master of dramatic shape and form." - San Francisco Examiner
