Music Score

CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON
Tan Dun

Speech
I prepared something exactly 45 seconds. My music is to dream without boundaries. Tonight with you, I see boundaries being crossed. As a classical music composer, I'm thrilled to be honored here. CROUCHING TIGER bridged East and West, romance and action, high and low cultures. Thank you Ang Lee, Yo-Yo Ma, Peter Gilb, Michael Goffein, James Schamus, Bill Kong, thank you Sony Classical, Cami, and G. Shirmer for their long support. Last, this is for two tigers in my family, my wife Jane, Ian, son, both born in the year of tigers. Thank you, Academy.
