River Flows In You by Yiruma

Nandini D.

• Artist Statement

  River Flows in You is a classic musical piece composed by Yiruma. The composition repeats the same melody throughout the piece but with variations in each repetition. This piece for me underscores the versatility of music to create novelty from the same melody just by changing tempo and scale. I have not taken any formal piano lessons and I am a self taught performer. I learned this piece by listening to the original and by playing using the sheet music for this composition.

• Creative Statement

  Music is the universal language which everyone can understand and it evokes different emotions for each person. A composer creates a musical piece. Artists can try and recreate it exactly the same or make variations while retaining the soul of the piece.
