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. The final movement of this piece, Moon Lullaby, evokes the image of a winter night with the moonlight reflecting beautifully on the snow, a gentle and warm scene of a crackling fireplace in the house, and a quiet and happy moment when one hears a gentle lullaby as one slowly slumbers
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)
