《From the author's comment》
The cherry blossoms areJapanFor many people, it is a seasonal feature of spring, and the beautiful scenery of cherry blossoms in full bloom gives us a beautiful and refreshing feeling. I imagineJapanI decided to express the cherry blossoms under the title Miyazakura.
At the beginning, four tone groups are used: H, E, Fis, and A. In the first half, I think it would be a good idea to be creative with the way you sing, such as with the pauses and the undulations. Also,JapanThe music develops into dynamic music through the repetition of the hichiriki, which is also known as gagaku (Japanese traditional gagaku), as well as the ohayashi and repeated hits of the same notes. If you have some leeway in choosing an instrument,JapanI think it would be interesting to create sounds by freely assembling the drums (shime, barrel, yagura, etc.) as Japanese drums.
