The mature period of Chou Wen-Chung’s compositional output was marked by the gradual formulation of his musical language from I Ching, or the Classic of Changes from the Western Zhou period (1000-750 BCE). The most documented aspect of Chou’s language was his system of pitch organization, which he named variable modes. It took Chou more than three decades to arrive at its final version, and it formed the backbones of his compositional structure. The theoretical foundation of this system is…

Shakespeare’s 17th century sonnets are loved by many, but perhaps also seen as a bit controversial for its time by some. This controversy is particularly prominent in Shakespeare’s 18th sonnet, also known as “Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?”, which was published in the quarto SHAKE-SPEARES SONNETS in the year of 1609.

moment of silence to remember the victims of the shooting and the life of Tom Petty who died at age 66. Coldplay and Peter Buck stayed within the same accompaniment as they attributed their performance. Lead singer, Chris Martin, gave way to a lower octave of lyrics, particularly noticeable around the 1:50 maker of the video.

Since it was composed two months before his visit to Vienna, the four symphonies may have been considered as “audition” pieces…
