| 解説 | 高山市吹奏楽団の創立50周年を記念して委嘱された作品です。 高山祭の山車行列や木製の笛と太鼓による古典的な旋律を想起させる導入部から始まり、日本の五音音階を用いた旋律が展開されます。 東洋と西洋の音楽要素が交錯し、壮大で感動的な音楽体験を創出します。 演奏時間は約9分50秒、グレード4の吹奏楽作品です。 （出版社のオリジナル解説） This piece was written to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Takayama Wind Orchestra， who also commissioned it. The historic city of Takayama draws numerous visitors from home and abroad， not just to see its well-preserved old houses and buildings but also because every year several historic processions take place， with beautiful floats. When these ride through the city， age-old melodies are heard played on wooden flutes， accompanied by muted drums. This image is evoked at the beginning of the work， followed by an archaic sounding melody in a typically Japanese pentatonic sequence， that develops throughout. In this challenging piece Eastern and Western influences alternate， creating a sensational and overwhelming musical effect! |
