The Dragon Waltz

by Sharon Chen

/

about

The battle between lightness and darkness represents internal struggles we face; we overcome personal challenges and make choices to better ourselves and society. Continuity of darkness turning into light is an important aspect as Hope springs from experiencing sadness. Composers throughout time use ABA structure; Here, the B theme is in major and adds a contrasting mood. I have classical, romantic influences as well.

In Chinese culture it is called yin-yang; a cyclical balance between female and male energy produces harmony. We as women strive to gain enlightenment and triumph with knowledge over ignorance. Past societal limits will not keep us down.

The dragon symbolizes power, change, and spirituality, and also good luck, fortune, and prosperity.

[This is written as a message for International Women's Day in March 2024.] Part of a women's compilation for the piano label Piano and Nature. Releases to streaming 26 Jan 2024.
