This piece is designed to allow both novice and adult enthusiasts to enjoy the ensemble.
The piece comprises three movements, each in "G minor-Bb major," "Eb major," and "F major," which are commonly featured in wind orchestras. Players can enjoy a positive influence on their future musical activities. The format is partly inspired by the renowned work "Fancies, Toys, And Dreams," in which Elgar Haworth adapted Renaissance composer Farnaby's dances for a brass quintet. This brass quartet (or brass and percussion quintet) aspires to achieve harmonious and high-quality performances while respecting the fundamentals of ensemble playing.
As of 2021, the world has been grappling with an unprecedented event, and various social activities are restricted even within Japan. With a particular focus on young generations, including middle and high school students, and music enthusiasts, the titles for each movement were chosen to convey the wish that people can "feel dreams and hope for the future."
