曲目解說：
作者讀完這首詩後，有感而創作此曲，完成於1977年。此曲之形式與結構，依其故事內容情節而設計，由於故事情節轉承曲折，段落間高潮迭起，故全曲除序曲外，又分兩大部分及終曲，簡述如下：
序曲：慢板，一開始由大提琴與倍大提琴奏出仲卿主題，定音鼓由弱而強，反覆地對答後，引出蘭芝主題，由法國號奏出，並由雙簧管及單簧管回應而展開。第一部分：敘述仲卿與蘭芝兩人恩愛情深，而焦母不容蘭芝分享其母子情深，而逼其子休妻，遣歸娘家。第二部分：蘭芝被遣歸娘家後，其兄逼其改嫁，一直到蘭芝與仲卿殉情，樂曲開始的鑼鼓聲，暗示娶親的日子將近，仲卿與蘭芝之主題動機，以不同的方式對答，交錯出現，再度展開另一情境。終曲：仲卿與蘭芝殉情後，女聲合唱又帶入另一高潮而進入尾聲，這是一段默禱，也是懷念與不捨的悲歌。
※本曲為舞蹈家黃麗薰委託創作之作品，同年3月於台中市中興堂、台北市國父紀念館舉行世界首演，由指揮家陳秋盛指揮省立交響樂團演出。
Introduction:
The Peacock Flies Southeast, for orchestra 　　The composer was inspired after reading a poem of the same title, and he completed this work in 1977. The form and structure follows the twists and turns of the story’s plot. Apart from the overture, it is including two parts and a finale.

Overture: Adagio. At the beginning, cello and double bass play the hero Chung-ching Theme, followed by the timpani playing softly and becoming loud in a repeating antiphonal style. Then the heroine Lan-Zu theme appears via the French horn, and this is developed by the oboe and clarinet.

Part one: describes the couple Chung-ching and Lan-zu were deeply in love, causing the mother-in-law to be so jealous that he asks for a divorce and sends Lan-zu back to her family.
　　
Part two: After Lan-zu returned home, her brother forces her to get married again. Eventually, the couple committed suicide, one after another, however, gongs and drums play to indicate Lan-zu’s wedding day is coming. The two themes that represent Chung-ching and Lan-zu are written in an antiphonal style, interwoven with the different instrumental parts and leads to a different mood later on.
　
　 Finale: Chung-ching and Lan-zu commit suicide due to their frustrated love. The female chorus leads to a musical climax, and brings it to an end. The song here is sorrowful, full of meaning of praying, cherishing and sadness.

※This work was commissioned by the dancer Ms. Li-syun Huang and was premiered in the same year by the Provincially Published Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Chu-Sheng Chen at the Chung-xing Hall, Taichung city, and the Taiwan National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall.
