\nThis documentary has been honored with Bronze Remi Award in 43rd Annual World Fest- Houston International Film Festival, 2010. Tyzen Hsiao is a Taiwanese composer of the neo-Romantic school. Many of his vocal works set poems written in Taiwanese, the mother tongue of the majority of the island\u2019s residents. His compositions stand as a musical manifestation of the Taiwanese literature movement that revitalized the island\u2019s literary and performing arts in the 1970s and 1980s.<\/p>\n
