Premiered by Jeffrey Milarsky conducting the Juilliard Orchestra in Alice Tully Hall, April 3rd 2017.


In this moment, all is a flower.

Look at the wide sky on the sea. In that blue, we cannot see the far-off flame. See the blossoms drifting under the sunrise in rain. In that red, waves take them to the unknown.

In this moment, all is a flower.
