This work is one of my original compositions. It depicts a dream state at dawn, a state of seeming wakefulness. The piece started out as a traditional jazz band piece, but since the harmonies were not too complex, I turned it into a solo version. The solo version enriches the harmonies and the musical texture. I do not require too much in terms of mallets, because each percussionist has his or her own strengths and techniques. It is my intention to let each individual play to his or her own strengths. There is also a section for improvisation in which the player can follow the cues given afterwards. It is recommended that beginners follow a step-by-step improvisation method from light to deep. The vibraphone is a very unique instrument with a beautiful and lively sound that makes people come back for more. We hope that you will get to know the characteristics of the vibraphone and its timbre better through this piece.

[Mia's Dream]
This song was written for my little daughter, who is very kind and lovely. I love her very much. One day she told me her dream saw her future would be beautiful and full of wonder. I want to record her childhood with notes and light up her life with music.
