This piece, inspired by “The way” by the painter Munja Son, is not a descriptive music, however. The picture I selected out of the series “The way” shows a relatively concrete theme, namely the bible story of five loaves and two fish.
My first idea to describe things such as bread, fish, men was immediately frustrated, Such a peripheral sense does not essentially suit with religious piety inside of the picture and spirit of the painter, After mature consideration, I decided to embody mental affliction and wandering along with an earnest desire for God of human nature, and finally transfiguration and purgation of spiritual world.
