开头“浮现”：旋律的片段以不同的调在管乐与钢琴之间传递。
Programme note 节目介绍
Dayung Mimi takes the circulating melody associated with Dayung Sampan and Tian Mi Mi as the starting point for an exploration of musical recognition. Canonic time shifts, transposition and the redistribution of melodic fragments across instruments allow the tune to emerge, become obscured and return in changing forms. The work asks how a melody retains — or changes — its identity as its parts shift through different musical contexts.
《Dayung Mimi》以流传于《Dayung Sampan》与《甜蜜蜜》之间的旋律为起点，探索我们如何辨认一段音乐。通过卡农式的时间错位、移调，以及旋律片段在不同乐器之间的重新分配，曲调时而浮现，时而隐去，又以变化的形态返回。作品由此追问：当旋律的各个部分在不同音乐语境中转换时，它如何保有或改变自身的身份？
In the score the melody is transposed through all twelve keys and distributed across six parts in canon. As the versions accumulate, the familiar tune becomes a texture: there is more and more of the melody, yet it grows harder to hear. A process derived from the Chinese baban 八板 then cuts into this texture, and as material is removed, fragments of the tune surface again in different keys, instruments and moments — like a landscape glimpsed through a corridor of Chinese lattice windows, where memory joins one view to the next.
乐曲中，旋律移经全部十二个调，以卡农分布于六个声部。随着不同版本层层累积，熟悉的曲调逐渐化为织体：旋律越来越多，却越来越难以听辨。随后，一种源自“八板”的程序切入这一织体；随着材料被删去，曲调的片段又在不同的调、乐器与时间点上重新浮现——犹如沿着一道中国花窗回廊行走，每扇窗只见窗外风景的一角，记忆却把一处处景致连接起来。
The melody’s history runs through Dayung Sampan and Teresa Teng’s Tian Mi Mi, and the title itself takes part in the same kind of linguistic morphing found in Ba Ban Ba de Sanqu and Hi-Lo Fide-Lio. Transmission here is not the preservation of an untouched original: words, melodies and genres acquire new functions as they move. Transmission is transformation.
这段旋律的历史贯穿《Dayung Sampan》与邓丽君的《甜蜜蜜》，而标题本身也参与了同样的语言变形——正如《八板芭的散曲》与《Hi-Lo Fide-Lio》。在这里，传承并不是保存一个未经触碰的原貌：字词、旋律与体裁在流动中获得新的功能。传承即转化。
最后几小节“抵抗……消散……”：几个片段浮现，随后音乐消失。
