Description
Composed in 1987. The sound on the lowest range which is continued from the beginning to the 36th measure is imaged the sound of carillons in the deep sea,and the following sound on the highest range is imaged the sound of carillons in the starry heavens. They sound mutually in the same time,and then the,third one which is wr itten by the pentatonic scale and brilliant "Carillons of Ekstasis" is appear on the middle range. In this part,a violent performance technique of cluster by using both elbows is adopted,and by the reason why of its terrific effect,this work caused pros and cons.
