Work

The River of Clouds

<i>“The River of Clouds”</i>  is composed for an integration of a large orchestral work blending the harmonica orchestra with Chinese and Western musical instruments. It has different musical instrumentation. This piece is orchestrated uniquely for the harmonica orchestra, the Western and a few Chinese instruments particularly for the 2013 World Harmonica Festival in Germany. The composer, Dr Mui Kwong-chiu, was amazed and inspired by the clouds up in the sky during traveling on the plane and hence forth composed this piece. “The River of Clouds” is also a metaphor for the love and bond between nature and man.
