#SCOSoundbites #SCO音乐摘录 – The Sisters' Islands 《姐妹岛》 Concert: Charms of Nanyang Date: 25 March 2023 Composed by Wang Chenwei “The Sisters’ Islands” is a programmatic symphonic poem for Chinese orchestra inspired by the local legend of the Sisters’ Islands located south of Singapore, featuring four sections: I. Fishing Village: A gong strike opens the piece, introducing the peaceful tropical coast of Singapore. As the orchestra plays wave-like patterns in the pentatonic Pelog scale, evoking impressions of Indonesian gamelan, the broad “sea” theme is presented by the alto instruments, followed by the bowed strings. Next, the graceful “sisters” theme enters with the Chinese flute, portraying the beautiful young Malay sisters Minah and Linah in an Asli dance. The following lively Malay Zapin dance depicts festivities in the village. II. Capture of the Bride: Suddenly, a throng of pirates raids the village, illustrated by the menacing “pirates” theme in hexatonic scale played by the Diyin-Suona. Their chief, awestruck by Linah’s beauty, intends to abduct her as his bride. A weeping Zhonghu implores the release of Linah but to no avail as she is dragged away, and a Gaohu solo represents Minah stumbling into the sea to chase after the pirate ship. III. Raging Waves: Bass instruments play a transformed “sea” theme, while octatonic scales and percussion effects depict the stormy sea. A struggling “sisters” theme emerges amidst the chaos as Minah swims after the pirates until she is overcome by exhaustion and disappears amidst the raging waves. Linah struggles fiercely to break free of her captors and jumps into the sea to join her sister, represented by a Liuqin solo fading into the depths. This tragedy incurs the wrath of the gods. Thunder and lightning strike, and a giant orchestral wave engulfs the pirate ship. After a long timpani roll, calmness is restored. IV. Spirit of the Sea: In the morning, a conch (seashell) calls out for the sisters’ spirits to rest in peace. The “sea” and “sisters” themes are recapitulated and finally played together in counterpoint, building up to a climactic ending as two islands emerge from the sea where the sisters drowned. Composed by WANG Chenwei at age 17, “The Sisters’ Islands” won the Singapore Composer Award at the 2006 Singapore International Competition for Chinese Orchestral Composition. This piece has been widely performed and recorded in various arrangements, most notably at Singapore Symphony Orchestra’s inaugural National Day concert in 2018. It also won the Top Local Classical Music Award 2023 presented by the Composers and Authors Society of Singapore (COMPASS).
