Notes from the composer, Shreya Jha:
"'Spring In The Step' was written one cold October 2020 night in the middle of midterms when what I needed was exactly that – something to put a spring in my step. With this piece, I aimed to explore a variety of techniques, including use of a percussive bassline as well as counterpoint that was not necessarily grounded in tonality. With both of these techniques in mind as well as a desire to create something uplifting, I ended up with a piece that pushed my compositionally but also ‘grooved’ in a way. I hope this was the case for performers and listeners alike!"
