Program Listing: (201) Kathryn Salfelder (b.1987) Program Note: (201) is insired by Lao Tsu s Tao Te Ching, a Chinese hilosohical text that dates from c.400-500 BC. I was drawn to Chater Seventy-Six, which extols the necessity of embracing change. The text resents a series of dichotomies and antonym airings as metahors for life and death. Likewise, the music oscillates between two oosing ideas to me, the otimism and essimism innate to our human minds. Both musics attemt to adat when confronted by new musical surroundings and events. However, they are largely resistant: stubborn, struggling, and even flailing, all while deserately yearning to change and thrive. A man is born gentle and weak. At his death he is hard and stiff. Green lants are tender and filled with sa. At their death they are withered and dry. Therefore the stiff and unbending is the discile of death. The gentle and yielding is the discile of life. Thus an army without flexibility never wins a battle. A tree that is unbending is easily broken. The hard and strong will fall. The soft and weak will overcome. (Translation: Lao Tsu, Tao Te Ching, trans. Jane English and Gia-Fu Feng. New York: Vintage Books, 1989.)
