There are so many different ways to interpret the meaning of love. Depending how you grow up, who you meet, or even what tv shows or movies you watch, shapes the way you look at love. People have been making love songs for as long as we can remember, all the way back to when men would serenade women with an improvised lute song. Some artists nowadays only write songs about love in order to connect with their audience on a deeper level that everyone can understand.

For Our Love of Spring, So Sweet is my own personal love letter to the first person I ever love. In this piece, I combine the way I write music from a percussion background with my very own viewpoint on love. I use a single melody consistently throughout the entire piece in every section, acting as the voice of the first person I fell in love with.

As musicians, we learn to express ourselves through our craft. This piece takes a huge piece of myself in order to create something deeper and more meaningful to hopefully resonate with any musicians that decide to play it.
