David Eagle Precipice, 1989 Commissioned by: “While the title suggests a good jumping-off point, it is not a programmatic composition. I was, however, inspired by the following poem by the T’ang Dynasty poet Han Yu (768-824): ...Winter comes with somber silence Ice and snow sculpting in white jade A new sun lights the summits Stretching heights and breadths >From morning till night no lingering shape – A moment changes conditions and forms.”
David Eagle Precipice, 1989 Commandée par : « Même si le titre suggère un excellent point de chute, ce n’est pas une musique à programme. J’étais, par contre, inspiré par le poème suivant du poète de la dynastie Tang Han Yu (768-824) : ...L’hiver se pointe avec une silence morne La glace et la neige sculptées dans le blanc de jade Un nouveau soleil illumine les sommets Étendre les hauteurs et les souffles Du matin au soir les silhouettes ne subsistent pas Un instant change les conditions et les formes. »
