The premise of the Sommelieder is that they should be short pieces deriving from a tonal convention that I do not typically write in. These pieces should be written within a day or two during the Summer. I intend to continue this tradition every year.

Program note:
It was in the summer when you walk down the square in 1950s New York. Surrounded by the rapid growth of urbanization, you hear faint music from where the dim yellow hue glows.
