Tiger

People born in the year of the tiger are brave, adventurous, and energetic. Tigers in Chinese folklore are known to chase away evil but can also be arrogant and overtaken by emotions. All these qualities are explored in Tiger, with a powerful introduction presenting courageousness, a sly rhythmic section pushing boundaries of luck, a flowing reflective passage exploring inner emotions, and a powerful ending showing everlasting strength. Use of a tiger’s lucky numbers 1, 3, and 4 are used to build up musical energy and power through the use of intervals, time changes, and triplet patterns. Tiger embodies everything a tiger is - Roaring, Gentle, Prideful.
