Echoes of the Riverbank

A two-movement memorial to two inflential people, a composer and a mentor. The first movement, Lament (Hymn), creates a reflective and serene atmosphere through rich harmonies and tender melodies, representing the peaceful flow of memories. The second movement, Waves of Valor (March), contrasts with the first, bursting forth with energy and vitality to celebrate a vibrant spirit. This movement features rhythmic buoyancy and spirited melodies, culminating in a jubilant climax. The piece as a whole captures themes of memory, celebration, and the enduring influence of the two figures.
