When Daniel Kurganov asked for a piece that fit a starry celestial theme and I wanted something that might serve as a nod to his recent wedding, I found myself writing Aurora. Inspiration came from the quietude and solace that can be felt right before dawn; how this space changes when one chooses a mate to spend all dawns with.
Origin: the meaning of Aurora in Latin is dawn, and also referred to Aurora, the Roman goddess of sunrise.

Once you learn how to listen and integrate patterns, you can fix your intonation (or be well on your way at the very least) in no time. It does take commitment though! Take it from someone who still hasnt done that proper week to address intonation problems Lets all accept the challenge TODAY.
