KOI NO HAJIMARI

Soft and intimate, this delicate piano piece draws the listener into a feeling of romantic nostalgia. When crafting this piece I originally had the idea of wind chimes in mind as you can hear in the chord choice of the opening notes and the barely distinguishable high-register piano notes. My wife said the piece gave her thoughts of two people beginning to fall in love. Koi no hajimari is Japanese for "Love's Beginning."
