Dauntless
Composed by Wang Chenwei
Since ancient times, the Chinese people have surmounted great difficulties with their dauntless spirit, and their monumental deeds have been enshrined in history. Composed for student orchestras, Dauntless integrates exercises on fundamental technique and glides that portray stylistic nuances of Chinese music. The forceful orchestral tutti opening leads to the dignified and resolute “martial” theme. This contrasts with the tender and elegant “literary” theme in the middle section featuring the plucked-string instruments. Finally, the “martial” theme is recapitulated, building up to a climactic conclusion. These two themes reflect the Chinese idiom “to be adept at both the pen and the sword” and encourage youths to brave challenges with tenacity.
Conductor: Mr Yang Jiwei
