Secret Jewellery Box (Part One)

Written in 1991 and 1996 / Re-arranged and Recorded in 1999

This piece was supposed to be the Part One of a long composition called Secret Jewellery Box, a re-working of my old stuff under the same title that I had written in 1991. The re-working never completed and this piece was left in this way before the entire scheme was abandoned.

When I decided to launch this re-working scheme, it was mainly about to give the original 1991 version, which was too long to be a pop tune but too short to be an individual Prog Rock tune, enough length of time to express itself. In doing so, I also decided to combine elements from some other works from mine and for Part One, I picked up a tune I wrote in 1996, which was later converted to a song called Jump Up to the Sky, to be played with a band called School in 1997.

Despite the re-working scheme was left unfinished, a mix of Part One and Part Two played continuously, which is used for this video's audio track, was made individually - probably it was an attempt for making the final mix in my consideration - but I don't remember when and why I made it and there's no other similar attempt between any different combination of Parts has been found.
