Fantasy on "Sur le pont d'Avignon for piano duet (2013, revised 2014)
This piece is inspired by the cultural heritage “Pont d'Avignon” and the beautiful and spectacular “Hall of Mirrors” in Palace of Versailles in France. According to the legend, the construction of the Avignon Bridge was inspired by a local shepherd who heard the mystic command from angels.
The piece was based on the famous French folk song “Sur le pont d'Avignon”. Through re-harmonization and abrupt modulations, the music is intended to be playful and expressive. The middle section provided great contrast to outer section. It is lively and contrapuntal resembling the reflective and decorative Hall of Mirrors. There are some non-traditional techniques pushing the music to its climax.
Finally, the original theme came back with variations. The final mystic sparkling arpeggios imitated the call of angels and recalled us the legend of the Bridge of Avignon.
It will be premiere at the Baby Bach Cradle Music Wonderland Interactive Concert for children on 23-8-2014 3:15pm at HK City Hall Recital Hall
