Program Notes
The image of this music is the color of white. If I could express this "whiteness" in my music I believed it would be a pleasant experience for me. The music brings the smell of winter season: you can imagine the snow or chilly air, or maybe even clear skies and ice, one could also feel the joy of the holiday season.
