Adapted melodie for this music is the theme of the art song Star Keeper(Poem by “Gye-seok Tak�) composed by “Junhee Lim�. So far, melodic line is concerned, mostly the Korean pentatonic scale “Do re mi so la� is used. The overall framework is an introduction/theme and three variations/cadenza/finale/end. Through the theme, it creates a musical updraft up to the second variation, and in the third variation, a relaxed atmosphere, and then a cadenza singing a conversation between a mother who sings a lullaby and a baby who is enjoying her dream comes out. The figure of the mother is the theme melody played with the G string, and the figure of the child is the cheerful high notes composed of the first five notes of the theme, “Mi Re Do Re Mi.� It then ends with a brilliant finale and a short conclusion. Attached Music file is played by Violin and Piano, it's just jor a reference.
