Flex Wind Quartet | Six Minutes
“After the Winter" is an intimate wind quartet inspired from the words of Claude McKay's poem. The piece is a love letter that speaks to the uncertainty and unpredictability of life, and the unwavering power of love to anchor us. Through its intricate interplay of melody and harmony, the piece depicts the ebb and flow of life's journey, the push and pull of emotions, and the steady hum of the heart. It is a testament to the beauty of human resilience and the enduring strength of love, reminding us that even when the world around us is shedding its leaves and the future feels uncertain, we will always choose love and return to its warm embrace. As the poem promises, "We'll turn our faces southward, love... And we will build a cottage there... With black-ribbed blue-bells blowing near, And ferns that never fade."
