There are four movements in this composition the first three of which are brief and provide contrast in character. The theme of the last movement the longest is based on a Buddhist chant heard at the wake forSheng's mother in February 2005.Composer Note: In 1990 after eight years in the United States I wrote my first work for solo Piano titled My Song commissioned for Peter Serkin. At the time myprimary compositional concentration was to develop a melodic and harmonic style within the boundaries of Chinese folk music which are mostly in pentatonic modes and contemporary Western Classical music. As a result all the fourmovements in My Song were either based on existing Chinese folk tunes or written in their style. I was asked recently by another virtuoso pianist friend Yefim Bronfman to write a work for solo piano. After thepassing of 17 years I wonder if there is any change in my writing. I therefore titled the new suite My Other Song. – Bright Sheng
