From “Of Colors Most Fleeting” vol. 2, the Singapore Guitar Quartet performs “Riddles”, written for the quartet by Singapore Composer Phoon Yewtien.
From the liner notes, Roxana Waterson comments: “Riddles by Phoon Yewtien is a piece of unusual textures, some scurrying and dense, some lyrical and dreamy, bringing to mind for this listener the colors of the Chinese zither (gu zheng), or Japanese koto. In places, the music seems to evoke images of flowing water, or small boats rowing on a wide river, as it might be in a Chinese painting.”
This is the way all musicians should present their music – with scores. Congratulations Robert. And Poon Yew Tien – that was an excellent work.
