Program note

Taoist Exorcist is an arrangement of the fifth piano solo piece in Temple Festival Suite for two pianos. The theme of the music portrays the folklore and customs of Taiwanese people by highlighting rhythmical sensations, scherzando, joyful noises, and mysterious calms. The piece tries to express the affection of people to their land, and the sincere devotion to their God. It also attempts to score a contemporary appeal and fancy by the use of compositional techniques of modern music.
