Composer, Producer, Publisher
and
Concert Artist
“Music
should spark our
passion, awaken our hope,
refresh our feelings, and
enlighten our heart.”
--- by Gong-Qian Yang,
a Chinese American composer, soloist and
concert violinist
who has been unanimously acclaimed by the
audience, colleagues, and publicities for his
superb
artistry
as well as his outstanding music talents.
As the first prize winner twice of Starling International
Scholarship Foundation U.S., Yang has been
winning
standing ovation
in his solo
concerts. While
enjoying a successful
career as soloist and concert
artist,
Yang has always kept a keen interest
in music
composition.
He studied a wide range of
repertoire and huge diversity of music. He
has
been working diligently on the combination of
the very best
from eastern and western music. Yang’s music is
now
reaching far
and broad both in the U.S. and internationally.
In his opinion, it is best to let music emotion
flow and
unfold freely without excess
structural
restrain. He believes
that
music can reach and touch humans' heart. Yang
refers
some of his music as twenty-first century
classic.
He
has often been inspired by the harmony between
all
creatures of the universe. Yang says his music
is a
gift and inspiration from the nature.
In the Symphonic Poem
Nature and Me,
Yang has shared
the feeling of harmony and intimacy between
nature and
all of the creatures in the grand universe
through the
dialogues between the flute, French horn, harp,
and strings.
The unfolding music is the process of constant
development
and resolution, like unfolding real life. The
whole piece
radiates infinite life energy that glorifies the
beauty of the
great universe, and, of course, the beauty of
humans living
within. In his music, as an important part of
orchestral
sonority for richer and more flexible music
expression Yang added a vocal part in Nature
and Me Symphonic Poem.
Tower Records has recently released Yang’s music
album
Sonic Poem; a digital download is
available on Apple Itunes
and soon on Vcast and MusicNet. China Global
Business
has highly commented on Yang's artistry on a
featured article
in early May, 2006.
