Trailer Park Études
for Mezzo-Soprano & Piano
Program Note
The piece was composed based on a poem, ‘Trailer Park Etudes’ written by CONOR O'CALLAGHAN. The poem consists of four small poems, ‘Stars’, ‘Rain’, ‘Wind’, and ‘Grass’. Right after finished reading this poem, I immediately decided to make music on such inspirations. I, as a composer, tried to capture each individual poem’s mood and lyrics expressed by beautiful soprano’s melody and piano responding to the vocal. The poems are actually sonnets – which are written following strict rules such as rhymes and a number of stanzas, and I used precise musical structures to imitate the poems’ structures. Please touch, smell, listen and feel the stars, rain, wind, grass in your heart as you listen to each movement.
