The Legend of Rmdax Tasing
Video
Work introduction
This piece is a duet for flute and percussion which was inspired by the legend of "Rmdax Tasing" (White Stone) from the Seediq tribe in Taiwan. The music mainly describes the Seediq people hunting in Rmdax Tasing of the Central Mountain Range. The white stone is like a lighthouse to guide the people's footsteps, so that the people will not get lost in the vast Central Mountain Range. The music uses the rhythm of percussion instruments and various flute articulations to create a hunting atmosphere, with hunting scenes such as waiting and chasing. The music ends with a long sound, which means that the "Rmdax Tasing" huge rock is the holy stone of the Seediq tribe and is admired by the tribe.
