This album features vocal works by Shanghai-based millennial composer Moses Zhao, including two art songs based on poems by American poet Robert Frost.
The first piece, “The Flower Boat”, is a 2-minute thrilling ride, capturing excitement and joy along the way of searching for true happiness. The latter piece, "Canis Major", explores the mysteriousness of the universe while celebrating the narrator's internal transformation from being a 'poor underdog' (Canis Minor) to becoming one who 'barks with the great Overdog' (Canis Major).
