SONATA TRUMPET & PIANO

reFRAME is an exploration of finding one's identity, inviting you to join me on a transformative journey through three distinct movements. Through musical textures, melodies, and rhythms, reFRAME delves into the depths of self-discovery and personal growth.

In the opening movement, reFRACTED, the music is frantic and filled with intense moments, reflecting the swirling emotions and urgency that come with the search for identity and trying to express yourself in places that won’t allow you to. The fragmented phrases and intricate rhythms symbolize the complexity of this search, immersing you in the captivating atmosphere from the very beginning.

The second movement, reFLECTIONS, a more contemplative and thoughtful atmosphere emerges. Here, I invite you to join me in delving deep into introspection and self-reflection. I wanted to sonically create this feeling: through moments of tranquility and tension, you will experience the internal struggles and breakthroughs that shape the journey of finding one's identity. The movement ends with the introduction of another motif that is fully realized in the third movement.

ReAFFIRMED is a merging of the rhythmic energy of the first movement and the harmonic motifs of the second.This movement symbolizes the harmonious integration of different experiences and emotions, creating a renewed sense of self. The reprise of the piece concludes in a thoughtful and gentle manner, emphasizing the affirmation of one’s identity and the profound contentment that accompanies self-discovery.
