Three Scenes of the Crashing Waves (2025) is a reimagination of the traditional Thai melody "Kruen Krathop Fang [Waves Crashing on the Shore]", originally composed by H.M. King Prajadhipok in 1918 as part of a suite for his play "Wiwah Phra Samut (Neptune's Bride)." The piece unfolds in three continuous movements, each depicting the crashing waves at a different time of the day:

 

I. Dawn

The waves rise with vitality, fueled by morning sunlight and wind, accompanied by the bold sound of a naval fanfare. The sea awakens, heralding the arrival of a new day.

 

II. Dusk

As the day fades, the sky glows in warm, twilight amber, its reflection shimmering on the water. The waves move gracefully, carrying the warmth of the setting sun, before gradually easing into the calm of night.

 

III. Night

The scene is enveloped in dark tranquility as night descends. The waves move gently, blending with the cool moonlight and distant stars, creating a peaceful stillness in the quiet of the night.

 

The music then returns to Dawn, signalling the start of a new cycle.
