about

For remembering the preciousness of Love in all our chaos and fragile-ness. Inspired by watching two butterflies flying around each other with a lost summer love. There are two parts, Part One, the boy- and Part Two, the girl. Just me, playing violin on the driveway, then copying it into a round, "Row Your Boat" style, one phrase later- making harmonies of coincidence I never could have made without some miracle. Well, I was inspired by a Miracle... It's my best tribute to the beauty and fragility of an unforgettable summer love. It was amazing to me to hear the harmonies and unisons of a round appear- when I had NO intention of that when I was just randomly sawing away! Especially the harmony at 1:40! How'd THAT happen?! And simultaneous unison at 3:31 and 7:25. And the way the end of part one, the boy (in G minor) just falls apart with a minor 7th interval at the end (far apart as you can get apart in a minor key!), but the end of part two, the girl (in G major) ends with a perfect unison at 7:25, before the "remembering" part which I added later. For music theory nerds! It always amazes me how wondrous music is... and what it's endless possibilities say about our Creator and the Universe.
