The Nirvana of Phoenix 鳳凰涅磐
Composed for full orchestra by Kwok Man Ho Marco
Score and Parts
The piece The Nirvana of Phoenix《鳳凰涅磐》for a full orchestra is inspired by the story of phoenix rebirths in Greek mythology. The word Nirvana literally means blown off. Additionally, it is a term associated with Buddhism, representing the ultimate state of soteriological release and liberation from rebirths in Samsara.
The Chinese title of this piece first appeared in the modern poem with the same title, written by Guo Mo-ruo (郭沫若). His long poem mentions that phoenixes are envoys of happiness in our world. They carry all the sadness and hatred and fly into the flame every five hundred years. By ending their lives, they bring happiness and peace to the world. After the ordeal, they can be reborn from the ashes with even stronger bodies.
In Buddhism, pain in life is inevitable, but suffering is optional. The deaths of the phoenixes are not the end of their lives; instead, they mark a new beginning of the story of happiness and peace.
