spring overture

2.2.2.2-4.2.3.1-timp-perc[3]-strings

"Spring Overture" is inspired by the tragic events of the Korean War, which began on June 25, 1950. Three years of conflict ensued, only to be replaced by decades of tension and division as North and South waged an ongoing idealogical war. This piece attempts to capture the spirit of the ceasefire, represented by a warm spring breeze which holds the promise of new growth.
