It begins with the two soloists playing melodies and chords on their traditional sheng and 36-reed sheng.  The texture gradually expands to include the entire orchestra, with the sheng melodies and chords interwoven between the soloists and the orchestra to form long lines.     \u201cThe traditional sheng is one of the oldest Chinese instruments, dating back to about three thousands ago.  The 36-reed sheng, on the other hand, is a keyed chromatic instrument that was developed in the 20th century, tuning to the equal temperament scale in Western music.  This concerto showcases the characteristics of the two instruments and the different aesthetics for which they stand.     \u201cDevelopment, for better or for worse, is perhaps just about changes.\u201d     Commissioned by Hong Kong Sinfonietta in 2013 with sponsorship from CASH Music Fund\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:1024px)
