This intense work is inspired by a photograph of Zhou Long's wife Chen Yi face to face with a hawk that had landed near their house. The music is filled with eerie slides and dynamic changes, with a fierce pizzicato section that leads to the work's climax.

Born in Beijing but a United States citizen
since 1999, Zhou Long is married to the composer-violinist Chen Yi.
