Last Spring

May 2019 (for string orchestra)

Last Spring is a piece originally written for my 5th grade graduation, and later arranged (or 85% re-written) for my 8th grade graduation, where we reflected on our middle school journey. It represents the many friendships that we have all come to cherish, a reminiscence of our experiences together - good, bad, surprised, melancholic, fun, annoyed, content, all of the feelings that we felt these past several years. And it wraps up our story together as people, our friends and teachers, walk away from our lives. After looking back to and learning from these memories, this piece ends with us beginning a new chapter with more to come.

Performed by the 8th grade advanced strings at the Tuckahoe Middle School Graduation 2019.
