In *Wu Xing* the concept is more fluid, ever-changing, and more akin to phases. These five phases also have traditional pitch associations in Western solfege that produce a pentatonic scale and these corresponding harmonies. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is in effect a Concertino for Two Percussion and Band. The number five is referred to throughout the idea of *Wu Xing*, and I have used it here in a variety of musical ways---five-measure phrases, five-note harmonies, a five-note melody, five-note rhythms, etc. The work features two solo percussionists playing a variety of sounds organized by instruments made of, or representing, metal, water, wood, fire, and earth.
