This meditative piece uses repeated chant-like figures to bring to life words from the revered Taoist text, Qingjing Jing. The lyrics reflect philosophical ideas about emptiness, tranquility, aiming to capture a sense of profound stillness and wisdom. Commissioned by National Youth Choir with kind support from Dorico (National Youth Choir's Principal Innovation Sponsor). Listen now Apple music Spotify Track list 1.
