Antares Falling

Antares Falling comes from ancient Chinese literature, the Book of Songs, in which one of the poets talked about how people used the star Antares to tell the change of season. This phrase was later interpreted in two ways: becoming cold and becoming warm. This misinterpretation and the selection of words in the phrase contributed to a poetic image. The flute and piano lines are intertwined together to create the ambiguity of sound, and to bring out the musicality within it.
