Ebony from Aventurine by Linda May Han Oh
I began the composition EBONY in 2007, one year after moving to the US during the Weill Composition Workshop at Carnegie Hall. This was inspired by the beauty and richness of this rare, dense, slow-growing dark wood, which is felt and heard throughout much of this music. This song is about persistence, strength and protection. All of which are themes symbolized by this protected and valuable hardwood.
