Movement I

This piece is titled "A Song Below Water". Nature is one of the most important sources of inspiration for artists. There are numerous composers who have composed music based on the sounds of birds and jungles, including Olivier Messiaen and Panayiotis Kokoras. My inspiration for writing this piece was fish sounds, which led me to select this title. Composer: Ali Balighi Ting Ting Goh, piano Austin Perry, bassoon Matt Fowler, alto saxophone Dr. Michael Mixtacki, timpani Brad Cawyer, conductor
