PROGRAM NOTE Long was I away was written during the spring and summer of 2017. … When the oriole takes flight, Its wings glint; When my bride came to my house, Her horses were bay and white, sorrel and white; Her mother tied the wedding sash for her; There was no end to the rites. To be newly married was bliss; How will it be, after these years, to meet again? Eastern Hills (fragment), Selections from the Book of Songs (trans. Yang Xianyi, Gladys Yang and Hu Shiguang)
