Cherish the Memory of Tsungming Tu: Tamsui

 

Cherish the Memory of Tsungming Tu, written for the first Doctor of Medical Sciences of Taiwan, is a commissioned work from the Dr. Tsungming Tu Foundation.

The work comprises three movements which are “Memory,” “Tamsui,” and “Dedication.”

It is worth mentioning that the work for soprano and string quartet adopts five poems written by Dr. Tsungming Tu:

「觀音夕照舊江濱,滿客渡船往復頻,只問白頭自何處,不知我是此鄉人。」

「觀音大屯青天立,水面淡江萬里平,一葉孤舟載人樂,紅塵十丈蔽都城。」

「淡江如帶白悠悠,鹹水彎回溯海流,不顧蕭蕭風雨日,漁翁意向網中求。」

「八十年來此世生,青雲雄志半無成,辛酸榮樂皆嘗過,只有丹誠殘夕情。」

「日月如梭人似夢,但因樂學馬增齡,眼看春筍崢嶸出,東海藍山色愈青。」

 

Musically, this work delivers Dr. Tu’s dedication to Taiwan during his lifetime and after his death. His devotion includes providing scholarships to educational institutions and stipends for research in Taiwanese medicine. The music conveys memories and hopes.

I wish people could again cherish the memory of the doctor who significantly contributed to Taiwan via listening to this work.
