This composition is based on an old Chinese myth about the constellation Draco which is still to be seen in the firmament between the Great Bear and the Little Bear. The Chinese people believed that when there was en eclipse, Draco was eating the sun. They tried to drive away the dragon with heavy drum beatings. The score boasts two main themes evoking respectively the sun and the Chinese people. You can hear successively the Chinese worshipping the rising sun, the threat of Draco and the triumph of the sun and the Chinese over the dragon. Because of the Asiatic sounds you will imagine to make a short trip through the ancient Chinese Empire.
