Commissioned by Izumigaoka Junior High School, Hitachi in Ibaraki, 2012. The theme widely used in this piece is a one-octave leap at the beginning (locrian-like). That is a gorgeous and lively fanfare. Feel the majestic sound of the brass octet and perform. The dotted line articulation for French horn aims for performance effectiveness and stability.
