    Program Note
    I was inspired by the Korean traditional reed instrument Saenghwang’s attractive yet unique sound and wanted to combine it with the reed quintet’s warm sound. Floating means not being settled in a definite place, and the piece reflects immigrants’ unsettled minds.

    Program Note
    Play is composed by using the Korean traditional Chil-chae rhythm. Chil-Chae is rather complex, but has a very energetic and interesting cadence. I wanted to convey a positive energy to the audience through this rhythm and variation with the sound of five reed instruments.

    Program Note
    Jazz Suite is an award-winning composition: the ASCAP Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composer Award and the Downbeat Student Music Award.

    The piece is comprised of four movements, first: Blues, second: Boogie Woogie, third: Spanish Tinge, and fourth: Ragtime. I combined early jazz idioms with modern harmony, rhythms, sounds and a little bit of humor.
