ASCAP Congratulates Bright Sheng on receiving a 2001 MacArthur Fellowship Bright Sheng Wins "Genius Award"
Schirmer News Issue: November 2001 "The announcement of the MacArthur Fellows offers an opportunity to focus on the importance of the creative
individual in society." So says Jonathan Fanton, president of the MacArthur Foundation, as G. Schirmer composer Bright Sheng was named a recipient of the 2001 MacArthur Foundation Fellowships Often called the "Genius Awards," the MacArthur Fellowships are granted to individuals as a "no strings attached" means of support in varying fields of expertise. Fanton notes, "These are people who provide the imagination and fresh ideas that can improve people's lives and bring about movement on important issues." The Foundation Committee called Sheng "an innovative composer who merges diverse musical customs in works that transcend conventional aesthetic boundaries. In his skillful orchestrations, he bridges East and West, lyrical and dissonant styles, and historical and contemporary themes to create elegant compositions with a distinctive signature...Sheng is a fresh voice in cross-cultural music. He will continue to be an important leader in exploring and bridging musical traditions."

Bright Sheng The Music of Bright Sheng.
January 7, 2000. The Great Silk Road was the overland route between Imperial Rome and Han-Dynasty China 2000 years ago-a thousand years before Marco Polo first started taking detailed East-West notes. The Great Silk Road is a main avenue again for Yo-Yo Ma's musical roots exploration, and for the composer Bright Sheng's assimilation of the sounds of many nations: Turkey, Persia, Mongolia, Tibet, not to mention China and the many music of Italy, France and Germany. "Red Silk Dance" is Bright Sheng's new piece for Emmanuel Ax at the piano with the Boston Symphony Orchestra: it's music that makes a Silk Road metaphor of his own pilgrim's life: He was a doctor's child born in Shanghai into the shattering Cultural Revolution of the 60s, but then he was a prodigious exile who got to New York in the 80s to study composition and show biz with Leonard Bernstein.

When Bright Sheng arrived in New York from Shanghai to continue his musical studies in 1982, he had a vague notion that he would find his own compositional voice by combining contemporary Western techniques with the traditional Chinese music he had heard since childhood.
Mr. Sheng wasn't sure that an amalgam was possible; indeed, the consensus of his teachers at Queens College and Columbia University was that he should choose one style and stick with it. He took their advice until the late 1980's, when he met Leonard Bernstein at Tanglewood and began to study with him. Bernstein encouraged Mr. Sheng's interest in musical cross-fertilization, telling him that "everything is fusion." Since then, Mr. Sheng has been writing music that straddles both musical worlds, and he has won considerable acclaim, including a $500,000 MacArthur fellowship last year. Occasionally, he draws on Chinese instruments and musical themes in works meant to Exorcise demons from China's historical past.

A New Work is Born by Monica Parks
For most of his career, the revered composer Franz Joseph Haydn lived and worked at the discretion of his patrons, the Esterházys, who required him to take his meals with the household servants. The story behind the creation of Bright Sheng's new work, The Song and Dance of Tears (Tone Poem for Pipa, Sheng, Cello, Piano, and Orchestra), which the New York Philharmonic commissioned with the support of Lillian and Maurice Barbash and Emily and Jerry Spiegel, reveals how radically the patron-composer relationship has changed since Haydn's time.
The story began almost 15 years ago, when Maurice asked Lillian how she wanted to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. The two music lovers are founding directors of the Long Island Philharmonic and founders of the Bay Shore Schools Arts Education Fund; Lillian is also Executive Director of the Islip Arts Council, which has presented the New York Philharmonic at Long Island's Heckscher State Park for the past 25 summers. Rather than a party or a bauble, she asked for a commission. They turned to their friend, the cellist Yo-Yo Ma, for guidance. The result: Leon Kirchner's Music for Cello and Orchestra. Ten years later, the Barbashes celebrated their 50th anniversary in a similar way, approaching pianist Emanuel Ax for advice. The result: Christopher Rouse's

About Us Essential Library Read Past Issues Resources ... Composer Links July 15-22, 2002 The Silver River, Bright Sheng’s smart, lean opera based on an ancient Chinese myth of forbidden love between a moon goddess and a mortal man, will debut this week at the Lincoln Center Festival. The river in this case is the Milky Way, which two lovers (one a cowherd, the other a goddess) can cross just once a year, meeting on a bridge made of the folded wings of magpies. With a libretto by award-winning playwright David Henry Hwang, The Silver River premiered at the 1997 Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival.
An expanded version was presented at American Spoleto Festival’s 2000
Season and it is this revised version that has found its way to Lincoln Center. “The Silver River is a contemporary and multi-disciplinary work that is derived from an ancient Asian fairy tale,” says Festival Director Nigel Redden. “Sheng’s masterpiece interweaves music theater
influences with Asian genres interspersed with traditional Chinese opera. Sheng has brought the beauty and depth of an Asian fable set to music into the American mind-set.” After this week’s performances, Sheng heads to Tanglewood, where he serves as director of the Festival of Contemporary Music.

Bright Sheng

Since moving to the United States from China in 1982, Bright Sheng has steadily built a world reputation for his fusion of Eastern and Western musical styles. Sheng's gifts of adaptability and openness were nurtured and steeled in his youth, as he struggled to maintain his passion for music in the anti-cultural climate of the Cultural Revolution. At Queens College, the City University and Columbia, his main teachers were Leonard Bernstein, Chou WenChung and George Perie. Sheng's one-act opera The Song of Majnun with librettist Andrew Porter was recorded on the Delos label by the Houston Grand Opera. His first orchestral work, H'Un (Lacerations), was premiered by Gerard Schwarz, who had commissioned it, and the New York Chamber Symphony on April 16, 1988. An orchestral portrait of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, it made a profound impact, immediately going on to performances with the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, Baltimore Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, Seattle Symphony, Milwaukee Symphony, the Tokyo Philharmonic, Honolulu Symphony and Kansas City Symphony. Just six years after his arrival in this country penniless, Bright Sheng had become a moving force, describing the anguish of the Chinese spirit to the Western world.

AmazonUK AmazonUS This is a winner. Flute Moon of 1999 starts with exciting string-stirring slightly reminiscent of Shostakovich's forays as in the superb Eighth Symphony. Here Bright Sheng gives us unbridled excitement and music that presses forward relentlessly. The drama is captivating, the scoring flawless and the performance simply stunning. When the piccolo enters the music is even brighter very exciting. Truly spellbinding, fascinating and a real joy. The second piece is often reflective but never dull. The world is full of slow music that is painfully dull. Not this. Full of interesting colours and ideas. The solo flautist is excellent (it is very difficult to play) and the music is very evocative. The use of percussion is a revelation. I cannot imagine the recorded sound being better. And the music scintillates. I cannot fault the work or the performance. A truly amazing experience. Real class, the music is so true to life, so human. All our emotions are there and sometimes only music can express them. Words are often inadequate. The excellent booklet tells us that China Dreams is a symphony in all but name lasting about twenty five minutes. The prelude has two themes both pentatonic. There follows a terrific fanfare with polyrhythms and a breathing space before the shattering climax. Not for the amateur musicians.
