The Blue Flower (Die blauen Blume)

Xiangzhen Lu

This simple little melody is an original soundtrack of my fulldome film "Bedtime Story" created when I was studying in 2015. "Blue flower" symbolizes the longing for romance. This image is based on the novel Heinrich von Ofterdingen by the German romantic poet Novalis. The film tells the story of a little boy, Geo, and his adventures in the Hotel zur Blauen Blume. The film was screened at the annual FullDome Festival at the Zeiss Planetarium in Jena, Germany on May 27, 2015, and made it into the Final List. The three original soundtracks of the movie adopt a similar basic melody, but the beats and tunes are slightly different, which represents a kind of internal integration. This piece is slightly sad, expressing an endless longing.
