Composer: Jin Xiang | 作曲: 金湘

Spanning more than 300,000 square miles, the Taklamakan desert is the largest desert in China and the world’s second largest shifting sand desert. It is often referred to as the ‘Sea of Death’ or the ‘Inescapable’ in the Uyghur language. Having lived in Xinjiang for two decades, the composer, Jin Xiang, developed a strong passion for its rich local culture, history and way of living, with the desert playing a huge part. The majesty and mystery of the desert mesmerized and deeply affected him as it highlighted the grandeur of life, the universe and society at large. These lasting impressions invoked waves of emotions, which were drawn upon heavily as inspiration behind the composition. The piece deftly interweaves moments of resplendence and quiet enigma to encapsulate the vastness and endlessness of the desert.

塔克拉玛干沙漠位于新疆天山南麓塔里木盆地中心，是中国最大的沙漠，世界第二大流动沙漠。维吾尔语意为“进去出不来”，又称“死亡之海”。
此曲最初完成于1985年5月。作者在新疆生活二十年，对当地人文地貌有着深深的感触。他在其《创作札记》说：“每当我一个人面对塔克拉玛干，灵魂总是受到强烈的震撼，它使我直面人生、宇宙、历史、民族，沙海茫茫，壮观而绚丽，奇异深沉，一种无以名状的情感在我心中升起：炽烈中含着几分悲怆，纯情中又带一点哲理”。
此曲有着强烈的地域色彩，同时也充满了众多的意象，时而幽静空灵，时而悠扬起伏，使人仿佛身临其境，感受朦胧而神秘的塔克拉玛干沙漠。全曲动静相宜，此伏彼起，给听者很大的想象空间。
