About the piece:
Composed by Ryan M. Smith in 2012
Childhood Renderings is inspired by the free willed nature of the child's mind. The work uses four different folk tunes, traditionally associated with children, along with newly composed music to create a representation of how a child's mind reacts to the world. The use of sections that start out short but get longer as the piece goes on is meant to convey the childhood maturing process. A variety of sounds, styles, and moods are used to relate to a child's strong imagination. Finally, the use of a small ensemble containing all solo instruments is intended to give the music an exposed 'toy-like' sound. As a whole, Childhood Renderings should make you feel like a kid again.

I hope you enjoyed the video. Please feel free to like, comment, and subscribe. Thank you.
