Lei Liang, All Rights Reserved. April 1999 / July 2004.
This piece was inspired by a visit to a Buddhist monastery in New York State. In an evening, while walking alone by the side of the lake, I caught the sight of a “V” shape floating and extending on the surface of the water. It was a beaver taking a swim under the moon. I hope that this music I write is the surface of silence on which the performers can inscribe their markings with sounds---not unlike what the beaver does on the surface of the lake.
Lake (for two flutists) was composed for Orlando Cela and Masumi Yoneyama in April 1999.
