"Where We Stand" does not claim to be more than what it is. The piece revolves around a simple melody, aiming to be as approachable as possible.
I have always been drawn to the expansive and open sound found in the works of composers like Ralph Vaughan Williams and Aaron Copland. This quality resonates deeply with me, evoking a sense of tranquility and reflection that captivates me instantly.
In creating this piece, I sought to capture and portray this sensation in a heartfelt and personal manner.
