《潮》

潮 (為管絃樂團而作) 潮汐，是海洋表面受到太陽和月球的引潮力作用，產生的周期性漲落現象。音樂如大海般，起伏、漲退。享受海洋憩潮寧靜時，也期待潮汐變化的潮差及高潮迭起的片刻！此曲開頭以A音為基礎，導出簡潔飄渺的音響，如漲潮前平靜的海面；其發展主軸藉音程變換發展、音域間的音響層以及交錯的音列線條，交織成不同音響的音堆；透過段落間相扣的連接，音堆間的擴張，猶如潮汐般多種週期的活動，經多次漲潮起伏推進，進入樂曲的高潮。隨後以逆行的音堆結構，逐漸縮減的音域，將曲子導向終點，彷彿海平面降低，漸漸從海灘退出般！不同於開頭，全曲結尾停在B音，好似退潮後的海濱線，雖回歸漲潮前的寧靜，卻也因潮汐的推波造成不同的終點。

Tide

Tide, the ocean surface by the sun and the lunar tidal force effect, the resulting in periodic fluctuations in the phenomenon. Music, such as the ocean, ups and downs, go back and forth. Enjoy the tranquil tranquility of the ocean, also expected the tide of tidal changes and climax moment! The beginning of this piece is based on note A. Simple sound is derived, such as a calm sea before the high tide. Its development axis by interval changes, the octave- range of sound layer and interlaced scale woven into different ton- cluster. Through the interchange connection between paragraphs and the sound expansion between clusters, like a variety of tidal cycle activities, with several rise and fall of the tides, promote the climax of this piece. Then gradually reducing the range with the reverse structure, guide this piece to the end. As if the sea level decreased gradually withdraw from the beach. Different from the beginning, the end of this piece stopped at note B. Like the low tide behind the sea line, return to the calm before the flood, but also through the tidal wave caused a different end.
