Program notes by Huang Ruo:
THE LOST GARDEN: Chamber Concerto No.2 for Eight Players is the second
piece from my first concerto cycle. It has four sections to be performed without
pause. The whole piece runs about 18 minutes and is scored for Flute (doubling
Piccolo & Alto Flute), Clarinet in B Flat (doubling Clarinet in E Flat), Piano,
Percussion, Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, and Cello.
The Lost Garden is an imaginative world, full of joy and sorrow. It is there
that you can find your lost memories, or you can bury them piece by piece; you
can feel the wind and hear the birds singing --- never again will it sound the same.
