Notes:

I . Praecox - Image ca 4' 20'' A floral leaf of Cytisus looks like a butterfly. Like karner blue billowed out of a pen of the great writer Vladimir Nabokov, countless images make me exhilarated. As a bunch of small butterfly-like petals looks like a broom, the fairy Puck in Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream uses it as a broom. Sometimes a breeze brushing the surface of skin creates friction sound, or breath of petals is mixed up and overlapped one another. Through striking contrast between pianissimo and fortissimo, sul ponticello and sul tasto, both a sharp wind and soft vibration of sweet petals are to be projected into instruments. II . Lena - Parfum ca 5' 10'' Cytisus luxuriantly clusters together and its fragrance is affluent as well. Shedding sweet scent, it is soft as a feather, and the image derived from the scent reminds me of an ideal woman whom I used to meet in my dream. She comes to be incarnated through its fragrance and the image is intensified. The romance of the flowers shaded under the flapping of wings is reflected on the surface of the deep water through Cantos. To figurate the rich scent of a flower wafting by the breeze, we must understand sublime romance growing with this flower. III. Scoparius - Chimera ca 4' 45'' 'Chimera' is an imaginary animal in Greek mythology with the head of a lion, the chest of a lamb and the tail of a snake. Biologically, Chimera is a term to designate an animal that has two or more different populations of genetically distinct cells. The earliest report of this phenomenon was in 1828, with the case of Cytisus. This phenomenon is also called 'Mosaic'. Notes, measures and melodic lines cross and create variation at dazzling speed. We can call this as Mosaic in music. A theme is transformed and torn. the reverberations are memorized and imprinted on chromosome of a flower, and these countless images are mixed and combined. Following the diverse variation on theme, we return to the starting point before we know it where the original image of Cytisus is created and the music is completed.
