Pendulum for clarinet and piano, 8'



This piece represents an oscillation caused by the force acting on a pendulum.

Regardless of the intensity of that force, it eventually returns to its place with steadfastness and tranquility.

Pendulum motion seems akin to many aspects of our lives.

This piece encapsulates such motions.

Approximately, 9 min


This piece is kindly commissioned by Chinese clarinetist Jianing Zhang.

I also appreciate Prof. Zhuosheng JIN at CUHK(The Chinese University of Hongkong) for his kind support.
