Jesus Christus, unser Heiland, der von uns den Gotteszorn wandte (2016)
Track 6 in SEVEN, an album of Singaporean organ music
If the ‘depths’ of the 130th Psalm (the basis for Koh’s piece) refer to one’s sorrow, then the opening octave of Ds in Wynne Fung’s Jesus Christus, unser Heiland, der von uns den Gotteszorn wandte (2016) represents a different sort of depths–that of the lake of fire, wherein the unrepentant will be cast into at the Last Judgement. Starting slowly, a series of voices interact contrapuntally and rhythmically accelerate into a climax culminating in a freefall into the abyss. The milder sections that follow is suggestive of a congregation going to Communion (underpinning the Eucharistic theme that Luther had in mind), but Fung offers no final respite–a series of highly chromatic chords and the final arpeggiated chord indicate the approaching wrath of God. - Phoon Yu

HOUSE RULES
House Rules (2014)
text and music by Wynne Fung
ESTHER, a college freshman - Rachel Blaustein
VICTORIA, her room-mate - Shayna Jones
A college dorm room; September, December, and the following January. Two college freshmen come from very different background. Esther comes from a strict religious family, and is uncertain how to handle being out from under the shadow of her parents’ house rules. Victoria’s parents are divorced and, though a high achiever academically, she misses the security of a loving family life.
This opera scene was mentored and directed by Roger Brunyate.

ADream Within A Dream
Text by Edgar Allan Poe
Music by Wynne Fung (2013)
Lisa Perry, soprano
Niccolo Seligmann, viola da gamba
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow —
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand —
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep — while I weep!
O God! Can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
The work was first premiered on 4th October 2013, noon at The Walter's Art Museum, Sculpture Court.
