about

In many cultures, kites maybe be flown for recreation and other practical uses. After launching a kite into the air, a kite flies in many different patterns depending on its shape, size, direction of wind, and technique of the person who is flying the kite. During the First Full Moon Day (Daeboreum, the 15th of January by the lunar calendar) in Korea, some write on their kites a phrase like “Bad luck be gone, good luck stay” and let their kites fly away, hoping to have good luck in the coming year.
‘Flying Kite’ for Piano Solo consists of five movements, and each movement describes different patterns and ways of kite flying. The music is focused on genuinely portraying the movement of the kite, sometimes calmly and other times lively or a bit chaotic, rather than relating music to a particular purpose of flying a kite.
As the piece progresses, I also invite the audience to imagine and experience the spiritual aspect of kite flying, such as sending a message up to God or letting go of hassles and troubles by flying a kite away.
Performance note:
The diamond shaped notes in the 2nd movement need to be played with the sostenuto pedal.
