어렸을 때 피아노 학원에서 치던곡 추억이다

In memoriam, the bombing of Guernica, Spain, April 26, 1937. A lamentation in music.

And in 2024, for the injured, displaced, and departed around the world as invading forces of tyranny rain down death and destruction upon innocent people.

I literally cried as I updated my old composition about the bombing of Guernica. 

Originally composed in GarageBand, I finished the first version of this song on April 26, 2013, not consciously aware that the date was the anniversary of the atrocity committed by fascists against civilians during the Spanish Civil War. I had had ambitions to create an animated short about its history and Picasso’s famous painting when I could afford the technology. So my first step was to use available resources and create the music, which I did 11 years ago. I have yet to produce the animation. Maybe someday. The cover art gives you an idea as to how I envisioned the graphics for the animated short.

This Guernica composition is my first attempt at composing neoclassical music. As a girl I would sing and hum made-up symphonies as I conducted an imaginary orchestra. I’ve got hundreds of improvised concertos, sonatas, fugues, and arias deep in my memory banks that sometimes creep into my contemporaneous music.

This week, as the anniversary of Guernica approached, I imported my old music file into my current DAW and refreshed it, adding French horn, the first instrument I played as a young student. I also added audio of propeller planes recorded live in March and April 2024. And I pushed the previous violin and cello parts to the limit, so if you hear a screeching violin or a groaning cello, it’s intentional; war gives millions of reasons to scream and wail. The composition’s 8-chord structure is repeated as if to state the obvious — we, humans, have yet to contain our violence individually and collectively. We witness and experience the horror of mass murder and war around the globe. Every. Damn. Day.

I realize my song probably isn’t going to be a favorite for listeners, not my usual chill music. But I’m also a firm believer in the idea that sunlight is the best disinfectant. With this music about Guernica and the history of 1937, I am reminded how far we’ve come, and yet, how little we’ve changed. But change we must, and I believe humanity will change for the better. The question is when.

This is my 20th music called '그 꽃 피우는 달맞이꽃처럼[Like That Blossoming Evening Primrose]' as a composer of GBE(Golden Blood Entertainment)of Republic of Korea. Actually, I just imagined about the evening primrose when the moon i came up:)
In this music, I used Korean traditional feeling melody to reveal the Korean mood.

Title : 그 꽃 피우는 달맞이꽃처럼[Like That Blossoming Evening Primrose]
Music by 랩소디[Rhapsodies]of GBE

저의 20번째 곡인 '그 꽃 피우는 달맞이꽃처럼[Like That Blossoming Evening Primrose]'입니다! 이 곡은, 따로 모티브를 받은건 아니고 밤하늘에 비치는 달맞이꽃을 상상하며 작곡한 곡이에요~~그래서 특별히 이번곡은 한국적이 멜로디를 더욱 부각시켜서 한국적인 정서를 돋보이게 하였답니다ㅎㅎ웬지 사극에 나올 법하죠??

요즘도 하쁠리님의 영상에 Intro로 사용되고 있어용 !

하쁠리 ASMR도 많이 사랑해주세용ㅎㅎ(쁠리님 채널) www.youtube.com/channel/UCa_ZCXMQ57PDcpE_3tPOW1g

좋은 감상되시길 바래요!!
