Introduction: OUR HOPE IS BLUE AND GREEN is a musical poem which tells us to save our planet with its blue oceans and its green plants. We find not only joy and hope expressed by listening to the music, but also some dark and thoughtful lines and some passages with nervosity and fearful trembling. But the basic nature of the composition is positively and hopefully looking to the future, - and the beautiful melodies of the string instruments are the pure promise to experience some minutes of sublimity and friendship of hearts.
This is a completely renewed version of a composition I made in 2012 for bamboo flute and chamber orchestra, which was commissioned by the China Aerospace Ministry (Beijing) and soloist Chen Yue.
