Jia Daqun, whose music is performed worldwide, is one of China’s leading classical composers. One of his major sources of inspiration is Chinese traditional culture, as can be heard in Intonation and Three Movements of Autumn, in which the listener can clearly hear how the music is infused with elegance and poetry, and evokes traditional Chinese speech patterns. The fine nuances of Chinese traditional painting are depicted in the delicate tonal colour and subtle charm of The Three Images of Ink-Wash Painting.
