Zilin Su - Dreamcore Archives: Mirage in the Fortress for Orchestra (2025)

World Premiere: June 13, 2025 – Deutsche Radio Philharmonie, conducted by Manuel Nawri. Composer: Zilin Su This work is inspired by the Al-Ukhaidir Fortress in Iraq, which I visited in March 2024. In the first section, shifting textures and expressive gestures reflect the intricate architecture and delicate ornamentation of the fortress — shapes carved in stone and echoes of craftsmanship of a bygone era. In the middle section, where I seek to draw nearer to the listener, a clear and simple melody emerges — like a fleeting vision from history, shadows moving gently through ancient walls. The final section grows more vivid, intense and forceful, portraying scenes of long-lost civilizations in conflict, expressed through strong and deliberate rhythmic patterns. Through this piece, I hope to capture one place, one moment, to reimagine from different perspectives the stories that have unfolded — or are perhaps still unfolding — on this land: struggles and discoveries, loss and beauty. More than anything, I wish to convey that beauty should not simply fade and vanish like a passing moment, but endure, preserved in memory, and perhaps carried forward through sound.
