Melon Soda is the first movement of this four-piece suite. It represents the first stirrings of new love: a chance encounter between two strangers at the fruit stand! I enjoyed illustrating various types of melons.

Do Canopies form Clouds is the second movement, and its title references the motif of notes that calmly echoes throughout the  piece, D-C-F-C. This piece is about the calm and slow settling into a peaceful routine with a new love.

The third movement of this piece is Reverie — the harsh, stark climax wherein the relationship is existentially tested. In this piece, our protagonist is alone at the final, isolated way station: deciding whether or not to get on the train to leave or not.

You can listen to the full orchestral suite as well as the piano-only versions here. They're so beautiful!
