The study aims to illustrate the composing motives and concepts of two compositions: “Across the Truku” for Chinese ensemble and “Shang Bai Jiao” for Chinese orchestra, the former has applied the musical materials from the movie “Seediq Bale” and the last has taken the ‘Bai Jiao’ Ancestor worship and pilgrimage Festival as background material; the composer tries to embody his inner pictures through different composing methods. Challenged his conventional thinking while composing, trying to transfer his perception into music for the audiences, using contrasts of sounds to make climaxes of music, expressing diversities of themes through concept of complex, the composer has developed out two quite different images in these two pieces with various materials. Besides, in “Shang Bai Jiao” for Chinese orchestra, to emphasize and strengthen musical image, action design is applied. A complete musical analysis and interpretation of the mentioned pieces is presented through musical examples with clear descriptions.
