The letters of \"Chai,\" which means \"life\" or \"living\" in Hebrew, symbolically stand for the number 18; hence, 18 variations, which are flanked by two versions of the theme. Other than the themes, I decided to give the performer(s) a choice regarding the ordering of the variations as a reflection of my sense of performance as a collaboration between performer and composer (and, for that matter, listener). It also reflects a dynamic conception of musical form. This means that there are 18! or 6,402,373,705,728,000 possible orderings!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"American Composers Alliance (ACA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68003690905679,"sku":"ACA-SHAJ-056","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/3a549c6ac5065f1d9ea2bebca3cc508a.webp?v=1793731638","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/products\/shatin-chai-variations-version-for-string-quartet-aca","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
