Commissioned in August 2022 by the Osaka Korean Middle and High School Wind Ensemble, and premiered in December of that year. Taking this new ensemble as an opportunity, I approached composition with the vision of young people in a time referred to as VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity), coming together to create a future path, adding color and excitement to the world. Through discussions with the director, Mr. Ildeok Koh, I incorporated "Jangdan," a traditional Korean rhythm, into the piece.

Starting with a fanfare for the future, followed by a song with love for friendship and the world, I expressed the vividness of life in a crowded world using representative Jangdann, such as "Semachi Jangdan." Instead of a simple bright tone of "hope for the future" I also developed the thought that "difficulties are life, and overcoming them is also part of life." In the final section, I used the Jangdan of the Yeongnam region, which I love, to a passionate climax utilizing "Pungmul" traditional style.

In this title, I encapsulated the idea of a moving world and the beauty of life rolling in that world.

This was initially written in flexible instrumentation but was ultimately made to reduced instrumentation. In the process, low woodwinds were written as one part, without independence, so you can perform with one instrument. The opening phrase would be best performed by trumpet.
