‘This orchestral overture has nothing to do with airports, though my friends may easily make this assumption due to the peripatetic nature of my work, but rather the beautiful gate at Deoksugang Palace in Seoul. Although surrounded by modern buildings, the Gate opens to the graceful and elegant palace grounds taking one back to another Korea before western influences. The overture reflects both worlds but ends in the distant past or at least the way I imagine it was.’(Michael Fine)
