The Rainbow of Promises

from Streams for the Desert Journey by Esther Wong

/

about

In a barren desert journey, life is just like the beginning of this piece...the pitch C, c and more C. We feel trapped in our prison of "C", perhaps once in a while we get the extra "D". Our perspective is so narrow that we can only see the current pitch that we're playing. God's perspective is different, he knows that this journey comprises of 7 pitches, the number of perfection. This is his promise "He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" (Phil 1:6)

This piece is influenced by Ligeti's Musica ricercata, each movement contains only certain pitch, with each subsequent movement having exactly one more pitch class than the last. "The Rainbow of Promise" is like a compressed version, each pitch from the C major scale appeared one after the other in seven 20sec tiny 'movements'.
