Fairy Lily | Flute and Piano | 2001

The fairy lily is a night-blooming white flower with a reddish outer surface. The musical piece describes the blooming cycle of the lily. At the beginning of the piece, the flower is closed, waiting for night to come. This is characterized by the slow-moving planing chords. As night falls, magical fairies come out and begin to flit about. The entrance of the flute melody symbolizes the fairies waking and beginning to fly around. At the second entrance of the flute, the fairies have found the lily and admire its beauty. When the high-pitched piano eighth note motif is heard, the fairies are sprinkling magical dust onto the flower to make it bloom. They descend to the ground to watch the opening of the petals. The fairies resume their normal activities. When the opening planing motif is heard again, dawn is beginning to appear. As the piece ends, the bloom closes and the fairies return to their dwellings. The delicate final chord symbolizes the fairies falling asleep.

Premiere: November 14, 2001, Killian Hall at MIT, Bonnie L. Cochran and Esther Yau
