Programme Note
This is a concert opener that explores the multifaceted symbolism of “thread,” celebrating music-making within the concise framework of an orchestral prelude. Threads begins with a single “thread”—a simple 5-note motif. As the music progresses, it intertwines with numerous instruments, eventually expanding into multiple threads of orchestral voices.

「線」(2024)
時長:約 9 分鐘
線,藝術家的筆觸,墨跡與韻律翩翩起舞。
線,時間中編織著故事,引領思緒,閃耀光輝。
線,引領我們的思維航行。
對音樂家來說,「線」有著深遠的意義。無論是音樂的軌跡,樂句的線性,或是管弦樂中各個聲部交織在一起的匯聚成流,甚至於每個音符下的五「線」譜,都與之息息相關。這個作品就是由「線」的多種意義展開聯想,在管弦樂序曲短小精悍的框架內來展現當今交響樂團無窮的張力。演奏這部作品,聆聽這件作品,就彷彿穿越在一條音樂之線上——我們追尋著音樂的軌跡,體驗著音符的跳動,感受著音樂的情感。
「線」由杭州愛樂樂團在其建立15週年之際委約而作。
