"Bun-Ching Lam's extended composition '...Like Water' is an evocative and imaginative work, as sensuous as its title. A native of Macau, now living in NYC, Lam has studied composition with Roger Reynolds, Pauline Oliveros, and Robert Erickson, and has been previously commissioned to compose for the Arditti String Quartet, Ursula Oppens and Fritz Hauser." Performed by the trio of David Abel (violin, viola), Julie Steinberg (piano) & William Winant (percussion). "'Like Water' consists of short self-contained movements. It makes reference to images of water and its various manifestations such as ice, steam and mist."--Lam.

Title:	The Child God
Label:	TZADIK
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	TZ 7031

"For her second Tzadik CD, Lam has assembled some of the greatest traditional music performers of China and matched them with some of NY's most creative instrumentalists in creating a beautiful and lyrical meeting of western art music and Chinese troubadour traditions. Her mini-opera, The Child God written as a shadow play, incorporates spoken narration, instrumental music and tenor songs, and is based on a Ming Dynasty mystical novel The Creation Of The Gods. It tells the story of No Cha, from his miraculous birth, to the discovery of his own supernatural powers through various adventures which bring danger to his parents' lives. Adventurous, charming and delightful."
