In each movement, a different trait of human psychology is acknowledged and explored through the sound of the wind instruments, offering revelation and a path toward healing, balance, and happiness. The work is inspired by the cathartic journey of recognizing the traumatic occurrences in your past. Only through this process of acknowledgement can you move forward to a future of positive fulfillment.
