“The Unyielding Heart”

“The flower with an unyielding heart

so that it’s not swayed in the wind

so that it’s not made to cry by darkness

so that it’s not cut by those sharpening their shears…”

“Children of Lir”

“Tempest”

“-were you just…called by the reeds?” - David Kang

mans asked me this after I was musing on wanting to write a piece for reed quintet. Honestly, I don’t have a better answer as to why I picked this instrumentation, so I almost titled it “Called by the Reeds”. It was May 2025 and there were crazy summer storms already sweeping through the city. Winds, torrential rain, thunder, lighting, H A I L - it was wild. At that point I’d decided the title and conceit of what I was going to write.
