Montain Songs and Arias

I have always had a love for both classical and folk music.
It is in between these expressions I thrive while composing.
This piece contains both fast and lingering alternations between these expressions, complementing each other and creating a whole. This whole creates something larger than just the two individual constituents, a new entity. So with the classic (Arias) and folk music (Mountain songs), I want to create something new where the expressions enhances each other, and merges into an elevated state.
