Tôn-Thất Tiết’s music has a special language in which both oriental and occidental trends are fused, although the inspiration and thoughts are drawn basically from oriental sources. This is obvious in many of his works such as Kiêm Ai (Universal Love), (1978) for choir and orchestra, Le Jeu des Cinq Eléments (The Game of the Five Elements), (1982–1990), or Prajnaparamita (the basic sutra of Buddhism) for 6 voices and instrumental ensemble, (1988) and Chu Ky, a series of seven instrumental pieces.
