Its deep, rich sound seems to particularly well-suited to express profound thoughts and to portray images of spaciousness. Nocturne is a series of portraits of the constellations. The first, &#8220;Cepheus,&#8221; portrays the regal king of Greek mythology sitting on his throne in thought. The second, &#8220;Pegasus,&#8221; depicts the galloping and flying horse of myth. The final portrait, &#8220;Serpens,&#8221; has the geomungo playing circular melodies, like the coiled shape of a snake.<\/p>\n<p><em>Nocturne<\/em> is dedicated to Iksoo Heo.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>geomungo and janggu<br \/>\n(2015) 9&#8242;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1536,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"portfolio_category":[108],"class_list":["post-1535","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_category-korean"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/1535","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1535"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/1535\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":80914,"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/1535\/revisions\/80914"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_category?post=1535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
