Program Notes
Mugung-Dong, an "invocation" for winds, percussion and double basses, means "…unending movement" and represents, according to the composer, a concrete manifestation of the eternally flowing sound of the Tao. The instrumentation (3 each of flutes, oboes, clarinets, and bassoons; 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba; percussion and double-basses) and the subtitle Invocation indicate a religious ritual. Additionally, Yun had the South Korean student's movement in mind as a symbol of the untiring struggle for renewal and justice. (The student's movement in South Korea was involved in the overthrow of the Syngman Rhee regime in 1960, and influential in the proclamation of the "free city" Kwangju in 1980).
