Скачать или смотреть Makakai - II. Norfolk

Although born in Oklahoma, the composer spent the first seventeen years of his life in Hilo, Hawai’i where he grew up within walking distance of the surf
beach Honoli’i. The naming of this piece is based on the memories associated
with his childhood home, 18 Makakai Place. His earliest memory of music is falling asleep under his father’s chair as his parents and their friends played string quartets in the open screen living room.

II. Norfolk
In the front yard was a Norfolk pine. The composer would often climb this tall,
beautiful, and resilient conifer to over a hundred feet high where the
wind steadily swayed the trunk and branches. The bark was ruff and the
branches were thin. Numerous abrasions were inevitable from each expedition.
