Trisdee na Patalung: Eternity

1. how you come across to it:
I found that piece in my net-friend's (the composer) Youtube account.

2. why this piece?
It's sooooooooooo moving, that's all. So bad that I can only watch an except, I believe if I listen to/watch the whole piece, I must cry.

3. (and...)
The combination of Pi Java (a Thai traditional double-reed wind instrument) and string orchestra is interesting. And the music itself borrowed traditional Buddhist funeral music, since the piece is composed
in memoriam HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana Krom Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra (1923-2008), a nice multi-cultural piece.
