Program Notes
This slow, lyrical piece was written as a birthday gift for my mother-in-law, who is a person that wants very little and buys what they want, so I decided to give her the most unique gift I could give. The colours of the instruments and chords reflect the feeling of watching a butterfly motionless on an object.
The blending of the instrument colours and harmonies are what move the piece forward. The harmonies should feel like a musical kaleidoscope.
