The title Antiphonal Flower Song was borrowed from a folk song and refers covertly to the duet between Pipa and Yangqin in this piece, which comprises of a free-spirited two-act structure. The first act draws the listener from far to near through the blend of quiet and melodious vocals and graceful dance choreography. The second act uses overtones produced by glissando notes on the pipa to mimic the sound of the mouth harp. Then, the melody picks up speed again and brings us back to the graceful dance and song of the first act, before the song fades off into the night. Overall, the composition conveys a sense of enigma and mystery. This piece was commissioned by renowned pipa player Professor Yang Jing.
