The piece was written for the remembrance of the Sewol Ferry accident in Korea. 295 people were killed due to this horrible accident and it was a big shock to everyone in Korea and also to the whole world. I heard this news while having my dinner at Hells Kitchen after a long day at Juilliard. Even though I did not know the individuals who died and were moaning on the TV, I felt such a strong connection, much stronger than any other disaster news of other country, mostly because they were speaking in my first language, Korean. I had wanted to write a piece for the victims for a long time, but I could not find a suitable ensemble for it. In the piece, a traditional Korean children’s tune is quoted. The theme gets juxtaposed in many different ways; a cantas firmus, a melodic line, and harmonic line. Towards the end of my process of my work, I also experienced a great loss in my family. My grandfather passed away and that actually was the first death in my family after I grew up enough to remember. I can admit that before that incident, I never truly understood what death meant. The piece started with the idea of my country’s great loss, but then it ended with a huge loss from my family. This piece has brought me a lot of emotional struggle as I was writing and it certainly was a very challenging piece for me. I dedicate this piece to every victim of the Sewol Ferry and also my dearest grandfather who I will always remember in my heart.   \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Just a Theory Press","offers":[{"title":"Wind ensemble \/ Score and Parts \/ Print","offer_id":52592810885407,"sku":"JAT-165-078-SP","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wind ensemble \/ Score and Parts \/ PDF Download","offer_id":52592810918175,"sku":"JAT-165-078-SPe","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wind ensemble \/ Full Score \/ Print","offer_id":52592793288991,"sku":"JAT-165-078-FS","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wind ensemble \/ Full Score \/ PDF Download","offer_id":52592793321759,"sku":"JAT-165-078-FSe","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1586\/5887\/files\/PagesfromJAT-165-078-SP_Elegy_00TransposedScore-9x12__Page_1.jpg?v=1780507721","url":"https:\/\/justatheorypress.com\/products\/elegy","provider":"Just a Theory Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
