Early one spring a robin nested in the bend of the downspout under my neighbors roof. Through an upstairs window, I could easily observe her feeding the newly hatched birds. A couple weeks passed before I spotted one of the babies perched on the edge of the nest. To my surprise, I witnessed it suddenly take flight for the first time, with a rustle of wings and a rocky descent to the ground. Feeling worried, I hurried outside to see what would happen. Part of me wanted its mother to come to the rescue, but deep down I knew this tiny creature would have to fend for itself. I wrote this composition for those who face such seminal moments as they muster the courage to leap from one stage of life into the next.

When the composer was flying to her homeland of Taiwan from her home in Vienna, a poetic image emerged quite spontaneously: she felt like a migratory bird, flying year after year 10,000 kilometres away from Vienna over the Alps and across Eastern Europe, Arabia, Russia, the Mongolian steppes, the Tibetan plateau, South-East Asia and the Pacific in order to spend the cold winter in the Southern Hemisphere; in spring she once again fly 10,000 kilometres to the north. During this flight her imagination plays with the different landscapes: what could a migratory bird espy from its bird’s perspective? In this composition Ming Wang brings together or unite many different sounds and musical elements that symbolize the various geographical regions. These disparate elements are held together by a few central notes, fixed harmonic structures, a migratory bird theme, a Europe theme and a 13-note row. The Chinese arched zither or Zheng represents an exotic bird that by chance has landed in this Western ensemble.
