Description
This concert piece depicts hard moments during our life time but also conquering these moments and bright times that lie before us afterwards. They define us who we are. The first part is a dark and sad reflection. The main theme of the piece has its exhibition here. The second part depicts the frustration and anger created by these sad memories by using changing measures and pumping rhythms. Part three is written as a loving remembrance. Part four describes resilience and new found joy in live.
