The title ‘Vocalize’ means the act of speaking or pronouncing. We express ourselves through our voices, not just with words but also with sighs, sobs, hums, and various other methods. These expressions, even with their subtle differences, can convey distinct meanings. It is a very sensitive and delicate process. With two instruments that offer a wide range of expression, this piece captures these various emotional nuances in music.
