It was during that period that I started thinking about the value of individual lives and the importance of education in society. As an artist living in the United States, I feel strongly that I can improve the understanding between people by sharing my music." Trained as a violinist in the European classical tradition, Chen Yi initially came into contact with Chinese folk music in a forced relocation to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution. Already widely celebrated in China as a major new composer during the increasingly open cultural climate of the 1980s, Chen Yi came to the United States in 1986 to continue her musical studies. She writes both intimate and large scale works for European and Chinese instruments, and fuses Western orchestral and choral idioms with traditional Eastern pentatonic tonalities. A recent multimedia work, Chinese Myths Cantata, yokes a symphony orchestra, an ensemble of traditional Chinese instrumentalists and a choir of male singers, a Chinese dance troupe with visual image projections on stage.

She discusses her music in the liner notes to the CD recording, SPARKLE, which includes four works focusing on nature's seasons, elements and life-forms. Chen Yi has won many prestigious awards and her music has also been commissioned and recorded by The Women's Philharmonic and other groups. The composer writes: "I express my feelings through my music which combines Chinese and Western musical materials and medium. This disc presents most of my important chamber works from the last ten years. The inspirations and idea behind the pieces are mostly Chinese. But the instrumentations of the pieces usually came from the musicians in America who suggested or commissioned them. I am pleased that so many of the outstanding performers and good friends who premiered the works are performing them here." "In SPARKLE, I want to express my impressions of sparks everlasting flashes of wit, so bright, nimble and passionate. The material of pitch, rhythm and form in the piece are drawn from the tune and the structural method of traditional Chinese baban (eight beats) rules of the grouping of notes."
