Sakura Song
2012 All Japan Band Competition Required Piece I
Revised version was premiered by Tokyo Elements on September, 22, 2018
"Sakura Song" was published as a required piece for the 2012 All Japan Band Competition. I would personally like to express my sincere gratitude to many people who played and loved the piece. Now I have written a solo version for large wind orchestra and have heard performances from various types of groups. With the opportunity of the premiere with Tokyo ELEMENTS, I was very pleased to edit the lyricism of this work for this new composition.
