“Ballad” refers to a kind of European folk song known since the Middle Ages, having elements of dramatic conversation and lyrical poetry. It became a general term for narrative song in the 14th century, and Ballade in the 19th century was a genre of instrumental music in the narrative style. I composed this work with an image of a fictitious hero, hence the title. The work is roughly divided into five parts. The appealing solo line, the 4th and 5th disjunct-motion motifs rising steadily, the rapid-rhythm style sounding like a mixture of Western "Tarantella" and Korean traditional "Jajinmori Jangdan", and the lyrical comfort melody essentially comprise the music.
Performance Note
Though the designated metronome tempo is elective, the relationship of the notes preceding and succeeding meter changes needs to be affectively precise. Where you enter the first allegro part after the prelude (rehearsal number 1) may be difficult to feel. The snare drum's rhythm does not change between 4/4 and 12/8. Three slow melodies appear in this work. Be aware of the varying tempo settings.
