Composer's Notes
There are two meanings of the title, firstly it means the feeling of my heart in the
"land" and secondly it means I hope to look for a piece of "pure land" that my
heart wants to achieve.
Movement 1: < Sight the Scene >
Gorgeous vernal scenery, the beautiful of flowers, the song of the bird, enjoy
the beauty of the world.
A refreshing breeze is blowing gently, the falling leaves fluttered with the
waves, thinking about the vicissitudes of the world.
Movement 2: < Dance in the play >
Virgin forests in the morning, are birds singing or the elves playing?
Mountain villa in the evening, are the animals sleep-walking or ghosts dancing?
Movement 3: < Forests Rhapsody >
The emotion of enjoying scene, cannot be quelled from heart for long;
Then drinking and playing, gladly to dance freely with craziness in forests;
Would like to stay here all the time, get drunk before going back!
