NOTES

One morning, I woke up unusually early without any apparent reason. I got out of bed, made my way to the living room, and decided to meditate – something I hadn't done in a while. During my meditation, I felt a soothing warmth coming through the window as I observed the sun rising. It stood like a strong, serene pillar, filling the room with its warmth and casting rose-colored fingers of light. Inspired by this moment, I composed a fanfare. Delving into the concept of light pillars, I discovered they are a natural optical phenomenon caused by light refracting through ice crystals. Combining these two elements formed the essence of the piece – a majestic fanfare imbued with a rich palette of colors, evoking feelings of freshness, mystery, and grandeur.
