Winter's Ballad

I created this piece with a simple concept in mind: winter. But as the piece began to develop, I started exploring the intensities, depths, contrasts, and the inherent magic of this season. Through harnessing this understanding of winter's diversity, I was able to translate these stunning aspects into this piece. The piece ventures through moments associated with winter, ranging from the first snow of the season to fervent storms that furiously blanket the ground in white. You will hear orchestration that hints at the magical quality of winter, while also maintaining the story that is being told within a section. This piece follows a large array of emotions that are harnessed within this beautiful, though sometimes mischievous, season. As I consider this piece to be an embodiment of winter itself, I thought it only fitting that I give such an emotive piece a fitting name: Winter's Ballad.

Writing music allows me to create beautiful worlds and stories that allow me to feel safe and to escape reality's discomforts. In expressing my creativity through music, I hope to add a little extra magic into the world to help others through their challenges, in the same way music helped me.
