"Where We Stand" does not try to be more than what it is. The piece centers 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 such as 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 convey this sensation in a heartfelt and personal manner.
