About
The two programs on this double CD were presented at the Pacific Rim Music Festival in 2003. They were offered as part of the Festival’s tribute to Chou Wen-chung in honor of his 80th birthday. What brought these works together is their relationship to Chou Wen-chung. Some were students; some associates and in the case of Varèse, Chou’s teacher.

Awards and reviews
In future histories of music...Chou Wen-Chung...will have an important place as a 'bridge' between cultures in an increasingly globalized world. ...Chou actually helped something important, even miraculous happen. By taking on the 'cleansing' practice of Modernism, he gave young composers (especially Asian) a tool to approach their heritage with an objectivity that made for fresh and bracing music, weighed down neither with needless nostalgia nor a 'colonial' legacy. This release clearly demonstrates that admirable accomplishment
