An exploration of the grandeur and wonder of Qinghai National Park, home to the headwaters of China’s three great rivers: the Yellow, the Yangtze, and the Mekong.
“Director Li nudged me towards a big, open, and warm feeling, perhaps similar to the American West, where I grew up. Stylistically he was drawn to the paintings of Thomas Cole and the nature writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson. To meet these stylistic requests, we ended up with two ensembles: the large strings and brass in Prague, the sound of which typifies the grandeur of the landscape, and a small chamber group in Los Angeles, which gives color and a sense of closeness to the characters in the film, be they insects, humans, animals, birds, or flowers.I can only hope people will hear my genuine love for the wild earth in this score and that the series can contribute to a greater understanding of modern China with all its complexities.” – Chad Cannon
