Blue Rose is based on two folk melodies which have been freely developed. It uses uneven beats and bars which creates a rocking feeling that is somewhat reminiscent of Balkan music. The title refers to the way the piece starts unfolding and blooming as it slowly becomes stronger like the blue light of dawn. It is one of the few pieces of the composer that is based in a major key (D major).
