This magazine is inspired by one of my personal favorite pieces of music, Palladio. The piece has accompanied me throughout my life. I once played it in an orchestra, and I have never forgotten it since. Its three parts immediately sparked the idea of creating a collection with three sections. I envisioned men with strong, dramatic strides and imposing figures coming toward me. The music evoked many emotions—excitement, grandeur, even sadness and sorrow. I love when music stirs something inside you, and this is what led me to research the composer, Karl Jenkins, and the inspiration behind his composition. As soon as I began my research, I was struck by how thoughtful Karl Jenkins’ piece was. He had an in-depth understanding of his inspiration, Andrea Palladio, an Italian Renaissance architect from Venice.
