_Movements in Time – Artworks from the National Gallery_ is a suite for orchestra inspired by artworks from National Gallery Singapore. The suite begins with a _Fanfare_ reflecting the grandeur of the Gallery’s building. A heroic movement follows entitled _The Idealist,_ inspired by Chua Mia Tee’s painting _Epic Poem of Malaya._
This leads to a _Mystery_ scherzo based on Simryn Gill’s macabre photograph of a dilapidated building from her _Standing Still_ series.
In the _Interlude_ that ensues, the oboe and clarinet restate the introductory _Fanfare_ theme. This paves the way for the graceful _Contemplation_ movement, tracing the gentle contours of Eng Tow’s _Bowls._ A sudden storm breaks this peace, which clears when the graceful theme returns.
The audience is then confronted by the probing questions of the _Enigma_ movement, inspired by Han Sai Por’s organic and alien sculpture from her _Extinction_ series. _Movements in Time – Artworks from the National Gallery_ closes with a festive _Dance_ inspired by Sarkasi Said Tzee’s celebratory batik painting _Voices of the Soul._
Each of these movements can be performed individually or in any combination the performer prefers. _Movements in Time – Artworks from the National Gallery_ hopes to attract more concertgoers to view the expressive and evocative art pieces displayed at the National Gallery Singapore. - Dr. Kelly Tang
0:00 I. Fanfare
2:01 II. The Idealist
inspired by Chua Mia Tees _Epic Poem of Malaya_ (1955)
Described as a heroic movement by the composer, this painting by Chua Mia Tee captures and inspires a strong desire to instill Malayan nationalism in the younger generation. A gathering of students attentively listens, captivated by their leader as they recite nationalistic poems about Malaya. The faint glimmer of light amidst the dark clouds symbolises the promise of brighter days ahead with the achievement of independence.
7:04 III. Mystery
inspired by Simryn Gills _Standing Still #28_ (2000 - 2003)
_Standing Still_ comprises 117 photographs created by Simryn Gill throughout her three-year journey across the Malaysian countryside from 2000 to 2003. These photographs were captured in the aftermath of the 1997 financial crisis, a period marked by numerous abandoned and unfinished building projects. The artist depicts her experience of encountering and confronting each of these locations simultaneously. She describes them as a moment frozen in time, where the remnants of the past lie in ruins, neglected and unattended, while the prospects of the future have also been abandoned and are starting to crumble. It is a state of stagnation with no viable path forward or backward. The composer musically responded to Gills Photograph #28 of a dilapidated building with a sense of mystery in the music.
14:56 IV. Interlude
16:05 V. Contemplation
inspired by Eng Tows _Bowls_ (1979)
Eng Tow, a Singaporean artist, has gained recognition for her textile paintings referred to as cloth reliefs. Her series called _Bowls_ showcases her profound grasp of shapes, form, and depth through sculptural paintings. The composer hopes to musically trace the gentle contours of the Bowls through sensitive touches in his flowing musical lines. A contrasting faster middle section is then heard before the lyrical theme returns again.
21:58 VI. Enigma
inspired by Han Sai Pors _Extinction series 12_ (2009)
Han Sai Por is well-known for her sculptures carved in stone, bringing to life figurative forms and organic shapes from hefty granite blocks. Inspired by this unique and alien-looking appearance, the composer wrote this movement reflecting his impression of the sculpture using shifting tonalities, dissonances and mysterious-sounding tone colours.
27:57 VII. Dance
inspired by Sarkasi Said Tzees _Voices of the Soul_ (Undated)
Sarkasi Said Tzee, a highly acclaimed Singaporean batik painter, gained international recognition for his unique application of a wax-resisting technique in batik painting, his vibrant colour choices, and his frequent portrayals of the natural world. The festive impression of the painting has inspired the composer to create a celebratory dance as the suite comes to a close. Listen out for the hand claps and foot stampings in the midst of some exciting changing meters!")

0:00 I. Foxtrot
The briefest card my dear we are leaving.
Imagine the long curve of the Blue Train like the line of a mouth closed and smiling and Charles in the opposite window seat head thrown back the smoke from his cigarette coiling and coiling.
There is a fellow in the carriage with artificial legs and a scar on his face unspeakable.
My hem is in handkerchief points, my head is a gleaming oval on the fluid stem of my spine.
I shall turn my shoulders, the silhouette narrow and disengaged.
Imagine the endless fluted bias of the waves.
I shall show my creamy back.
Write to the Hôtel Blanc.
I am learning a modern geometry of desire.
2:14 II. Slow Foxtrot
Lacquer bows to bleu marine, fingered waved, who must respond as though she were not gratified.
Begin the formal promenade.
The sea is wrinkled like a skin and laps the darkly pitted sand.
A liner moving Tunis bound sets the powdered stars aside, jewelling the bay alone, and creeping on and creeping on, elegant à la mode, fades away from sight of land.
And dont you love the negro band? Dont you adore the saxophone?
Your nails are painted deep as blood.
Softly flexing in steps glide.
Attentive to the live-long end beneath the scalpel of the moon.
5:17 III. Tango
Let us invent marble and five oclock.
Ill take white, you take black.
How engagingly we rhyme across the chequered level in the perfume of tea and petits fours.
I shall sample the tiniest slice of the Grand Succès on the lemon terrace, the newly apparent moon a delicacy cat-ice thin, fresh as mimosa.
Your legs are dangerously long under the palm trees at Menton, my thighs all silk and hesitation drawing the tango down the polished length of the floor.
And the cellos have such slim waists and violins are girls with flattened breasts.
Let us invent the chaise-longue, bamboo, Lapsang Souchong, linen and panama.
You may cough and thump your stick, but I have been up in the attic and I have a bundle of postcards here to prove that once we were seen to be in love on the Riviera in nineteen twenty-four.")

0:00 No. 1 (XVI)
From needing danger, to be good,
From owing thee yesterday’s tears today,
From trusting so much to thy blood,
That in that hope, we wound our soul away,
From bribing thee with alms, to excuse
Some sin more burdenous,
From light affecting, in religion, news,
From thinking us all soul, neglecting thus
Our mutual duties, Lord deliver us.
1:41 No. 2 (XX)
Through thy submitting all, to blows
Thy face, thy clothes to spoil, thy fame to scorn,
All ways, which rage, or justice knows,
And by which thou couldst show, that thou wast born,
And through thy gallant humbleness
Which thou in death didst shew,
Dying before thy soul they could express,
Deliver us from death by dying so,
To this world, ere this world doth bid us go.
3:45 No. 3 (XXIII)
Hear us, O hear us Lord; to thee
A sinner is more music, when he prays,
Than spheres, or angels’ praises be,
In panegyric allelujas.
Hear us, for till thou hear us, Lord
We know not what to say.
Thine ear to our sighs, tears, thoughts gives voice and word.
O thou who Satan heard’st in Job’s sick day,
Hear thy self now, for thou in us dost pray.")
