  • 2222, 4331, timpani+3, harp, strings
  • Duration: 10 minutes
  • Premiered by New Jersey Symphony Orchestra; JoAnn Felleta, conductor

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night was inspired by Dylan Thomas’ poem. However, the music itself was more independently developed. There are two themes -- one is introduced in a vague and hidden way and being suppressed until the climax arrives; while the other is being varied and presented for many more times through the work. These two themes finally mingle together. The whole process is also a realization from the dark to the bright. The cover was designed by Alissa Yang exclusively for this work.
