Work introduction
Anima Animæ is my most personal piece to date. It explores the growth cycles of human life through music, suggesting the spiritual significance of "anima animæ" or the birth of "a soul of the soul." The piece is divided into two parts, with the second part redefining the musical structure and form of the first.
The Charlotte New Music Festival commissioned this work for the Beo String Quartet.
