Original music shaped by classical craft and contemporary storytelling​

Yona Rasolonjatovo - composer

Live recording — 2015 

Dilemma

A conversation at the edge of farewell — two voices, one mediator, and the slow unraveling of something that cannot be saved. Written for flute, violin, and piano.

This is What I call Love

A playful yet biting portrait of love, where innocence and illusion dance side by side. Written for flute and piano.

A Time For Everything

A setting of Ecclesiastes 3, built around the quiet truth that every season has its place. Written for eight-part choir and piano.

Dear Friend

A farewell letter begun in 2015 and finally finished a decade later. Spare, intimate, and unhurried — the shape of something that took time to say.

How I work

I am a classically trained composer whose work explores narrative, voice, and emotional architecture. My background in concert and choral music informs a disciplined approach to storytelling, form, and texture. My work starts with a question: what does this moment need to feel true?

Her works have had a profound impact on me, both through musical emotion and inner impulse. Her music has that rare power to touch the soul

Yona doesn’t see the world like most people, and that’s why her work deserves to be shared among the people of our time. She sheds a different light on praise, resilience, and gratitude through her works, and this touches us in the most unexpected ways
