NOTE
Kacho-Fugetsu was composed in 2006, inspired by the elegant and atmospheric
seasons of Japan. The piece consists of a suite in four movements, spring,
summer, fall, and winter, with the theme of flowers in spring, birds in
summer, wind in fall, and the moon in winter, and I chose the most memorable
and beautiful scenes for me in each season.
Autumn Breeze is a joyful piece set to the rhythm of an Ohayashi which
is traditional Japanese festival music. I composed this piece with the
image of a scene where festival music can be heard from far away on a slightly
chilly autumn breeze
Composed in September 2006
First performed: October 8, 2006 at Fujimi-cho Green Culture Center
Performed by Mayumi Sekizawa(Marimba) and Kuniharu Hara(Japanese Drum)
