Lake Reflected on the Moon

In a quiet forest, a still lake rests beneath the moon.
Its reflection trembles softly upon the water,
as if the sky itself begins to ripple.

A delicate melody drifts through the dusk,
gradually rising into a surge of passion.

In the final chord,
the moon glows, dissolved into light upon the water.

Gate of Genesis

In the beginning, within a silent darkness, a solitary gate stands.
A symbol of origin and a passage into the unknown.

Deep tones of piano and cello awaken the stillness,
as the music gathers strength and moves toward a powerful climax.

After a sudden breath of silence,
piano, strings, and horn rise together in a vast wave of sound.

As the resonance fades, the gate opens,
revealing the beginning of an infinite world.

Mr. Darcy

Inspired by Pride and Prejudice,
this piece begins at dawn, as Darcy walks toward Elizabeth.

It weaves together surprise, regret, gratitude, and love,
expressing the tangled emotions between two hearts.

With its passionate energy,
it remains one of the composer’s most cherished works to perform.

Challenger of the Sky

After a quiet and subdued opening,
a radiant light pours down from the vast heights of the open sky.

As the music gradually accelerates,
a climactic passage of rich harmonies unfolds,
expressing the burning desire of a winged challenger striving endlessly toward a pure and brilliant light.

Did the challenger ever reach the light?
The final note leaves the answer to the imagination.
