United, We Stand !

The story of the song started with an image of war, where Enrique as Master of Fire was fighting in the most dangerous area against the most powerful enemy forces. The changing sections with diffrent sound colours try to tell the audience how Enrique used his diffrent magic and skills, as well as his enemies. As the enemies kept coming and they couldn't be easily defeated, Enrique started to feel tired and weak.

Being very far away and relaxing in his room, Spyronze need not to be worried about any damage that can injured himself. It's just his character to avoid going to the war and sacrifies the others to fight before him. However, he suddenly could feel that his best friend, Enrique, was in need of help. That was the moment when he came into action. Spyronze would not let this happen, as Enrique was the strongest person that he would trust in dealing with enemies. So he went to approach the other Power Masters and with his ability to transfer energy, absorbed a little energy from each of them. Equipped with his handy teleport amulet and protection amulet, he didn't face so much trouble to wander around in the middle of the war.

He finally came to Enrique and passed him the power. In addition to that, he gave such good encouragement for Enrique. For a moment, the feeling of exhaustness turned into relax feeling, and the war around them changed into a beautiful and peaceful atmosphere of Chinese Garden. Enrique then felt so refreshed and once again ready to fight whatever came on his way. His spirit was even more burned while Spyronze also fought togther with him.


"United, We Stand!" is originally composed for piano solo, but in the beginning of 2008 I composed a new version for piano, violin, saxophone and trombone. It was premiered in Lee Foundation Theatre during NAFA's Music Platform on 19 March 2008. Just like Enrique had Spyronze to give him the power for fighting, I also had powerful force of talented musicians to perform together with my piano. I'd like to express my greatest acknowledgment to them :

Gabriel Lee, violin
Nicanor Ng, trombone
Rekkha R, saxophone
