香港女青中樂團 Hong Kong YWCA Chinese Orchestra / 陳照延 Chan Chiu-yin 音樂一開始由強大動力的頑固音型(ostinato)推進，輔以重拍移位及爵士樂行動貝斯(walking bass)的特徵。正如標題所形容，不同音樂素材及樂器組合互相回應及迴響。甘美蘭(Gamelan)是印尼常見的敲擊樂隊，由不同形制的銅鑼、鍵盤敲擊及雙面鼓等樂器所組成。樂曲的旋律音形及和聲是來自巴里島甘美蘭音樂常用的音階(1-3-4-5-7)。此外，樂曲嘗試仿照甘美蘭樂隊去形成一個獨立的鍵盤敲擊樂組，令華樂團的聲響耳目一新。此曲曾入選作新加坡華樂團國際作曲大賽2006決賽。 The music begins with a turbulent energetic ostinato, characterized by shifting accents and a jazzy walking bass. As promised in the title, the effect of echoes is generated by placing different blocks of materials and instrumental groups in antiphony. Gamelan is a percussion ensemble commonly found in Indonesia, comprising different kinds of gongs, mallet percussion and two-sided drums. In this piece, melodic figuration and harmony are originated from one of the common Balinese Gamelan scale (1-3-4-5-7). Besides, a quasi-gamelan mallet percussion section is formed and emphasized, making the sounds of the Chinese orchestra fresh to audiences ears. The piece has been selected for the finals in the International Competition for Chinese Orchestral Composition 2006 organized by the Singapore Chinese Orchestra.
