I grew up in Korea and came to the US as a teenager, so the stories that influenced me most in childhood were Korean folktales. These are stories that everyone in Korea knows, but are unfamiliar to many outside of it. Through music, I want to share those stories and invite listeners into that world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRevisiting these tales now as an adult has been surprising. As a child, I understood them in very black and white terms. There was a good side and a bad side, and someone always had to win. But with age, I have started to feel that life does not work like that. I used to love or hate things instantly. I was impatient and intolerant of complexity. Now I try to pause, to notice the other side, even if I do not always succeed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis story in particular has stayed with me for years. When I was young, I absolutely believed the bunny must live. and of course, he should. But now I also think about the tiger. Hunger is real. Consequences are real. and while the bunny is clever, he also uses cruelty to escape danger. As children, we were told he was witty and quick, and he is. But the story also carries another layer I could not see back then.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe music follows the story closely, like a tone poem, unfolding across twelve narrative sections. I am happy to share this Korean folktale through my music. Whatever meaning or moral you take from it is entirely your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrchestral instrumentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2[1.2\/pic] 2 2 2 – 2 2 2 1 – timp + 1 – str\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Just a Theory Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45023569248335,"sku":"JAT-165-002-FS","price":90.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/4d572bc4523a70c9987fb45215286fc0.webp?v=1774456237","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/products\/sohn-a-tale-of-the-bunny-and-the-tiger-just-theory-1","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
