For Symphony Orchestra
Dusk in Chiufen was conceived during the composerโs one-day trip to the northeastern Taiwanese town of Chiufen (ไนไปฝ), where he was captivated by the literally picturesque sunset. Rather than depicting the sun, the piece paints three elements of the surroundings, framing the heart of the scenery in negative space.
