Reflections VI – The Tyger for double bass and piano

Reflections VI – The Tyger was written in memory of the composer's cat, Tiger, using the Blake poem for inspiration. A repeated note motive pervades the entire work. A descending chromatic chord progression controls the harmonic structure of the piece, creating various mood changes.

Reflections is a series of works written for chamber groups and voice. The music evokes images based on either the composer’s past experiences or the poetry. This version is written for Yung-Chiao Wei and Chaoi Chou.
