The Melon

2 cellos & viola

 written for Elsie Bae Han & Nicholas Politi

I am fascinated and inspired by the sound of dolphin echolocation and discovered that the organ that is used for this type of communication is called “the melon.” I wrote this piece while two of my closest friends at Boston Conservatory were in mind; I thank them for spreading their wealth of knowledge and creativity with me, and for their friendship and love. Therefore, The Melon centers around communication, freedom, choice, collaboration, and friendship.
