Yiruma, (이루마) - River Flows in You
Since it was featured in the Twilight saga, ‘River Flows in You’ has morphed into the ‘Clair de lune’ of the 21st century – but when did Yiruma compose it and what does it mean?
If you’re an aspiring pianist or just enjoy the sound of a simple, beautiful melody, you will have likely come across Yiruma’s lyrical piano piece, ‘River Flows in You’ (2001).
The piece, written in A major, is the South Korean-British composer’s best-selling song to-date.
Structured more like a pop song than a classical piano composition, ‘River Flows in You’ is hugely popular among both pop and classical listeners.
It is inspired by the French composer Samuel Vallée’s 1999 composition ‘Une rivière coule en toi’, which literally translates in English as ‘River Flows in You’.
