From these ideas I developed a series of musical portraits, which eventually evolved into \u2018Undiscovered Reflections\u2019. The narratives and images from which I worked have been noted below in order for the listener to get a sense of each piece\u2019s origin. However, regardless of the written descriptions and figurative titles, it is both impossible and unnecessary to dictate what the listener will take from hearing this music; but rather I offer it up in the hope that in listening, you will find something for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>David Munro &#8211; COMPOSER, PIANIST, MUSICAL DIRECTOR<\/p>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1536793257663_33451\" class=\"sqs-block quote-block sqs-block-quote null\">\n<div class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<figure>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIn listening now to his work, the musical integrity\u2026the humility\u2026the humanity\u2026all shine through.
