The world premiere of CHI for string quartet wasgiven by the Spektral Quartet in historic RockefellerChapel on the campus of the University of Chicago.The music was composed for the extraordinaryspiritual qualities and acoustic properties ofRockefeller Chapel’s grand cathedral space. The Chinese refer to the vital life force energy ofthe universe, present within every living thing, as 'Chi'.Chi has been studied for over ten thousand years, fromChina and Japan to India, the Hawaiian Islands andSouth America. Chi is the energy of life itself,recognized as the balance of Yin and Yang (male andfemale, positive and negative, electromagneticenergy), which flows through everything in creation.The power of Chi emits soulful colors (the Aura),giving expressive vibrational frequency, and sound.Chi flows through the body pathways - known asMeridians (highpoints) and Chakras (deep, subtlespiritual nodes of the profound essential center) - of allliving forms. Commissioned by Rockefeller Memorial Chapeland the Spektral Quartet, CHI for string quartet isdedicated with admiration and gratitude to ElizabethDavenport and the Spektral Quartet.
