Dream of Spring Peonies is an arrangement of three Kunqu opera tunes as they appear in the tenth scene of The Peony Pavilion, in which Du Liniang experiences the beauty of a garden for the first time, the flowers blooming and birds chirping in the spring. The music illustrates the original text, full of vivid imagery, in addition to feelings of nostalgia and sentimentality. The piece may either be interpreted as a straight-forward setting of the opera melody, with Du Liniang falling asleep at the end, or an expression of Du Liniang fondly recalling the wonder she felt when she first truly experienced the spring.
The use of the instruments in this piece mimics the sound of Chinese traditional instruments, with the Violin and Cello akin to Erhu, and the Piano being used like a Guzheng. There is also an Indonesian influence, with the fluctuating tempo and certain musical textures being inspired by Keroncong Langgam Jawa, and Gamelan-inspired gong-like bass notes punctuating the major sections of the piece.
