≪Composition≫Hiroyuki Yamazawa

≪Performance time≫
Approximately 5 minutes 00 seconds
*The performance time is based on the reference sound source, so it will vary depending on the performance method and tempo.

Reference sound source: JPC ENSEMBLE COLLECTION Vol.12 (CD)


Difficulty: Intermediate/Advanced

Overall, there are no difficult phrases, but the 7/8 time signature from measure 30 tends to fall, and there is a possibility that it will flow into measure 86. Be aware of the first beat of the next measure, and try to process the sound on the seventh beat.
It's a good idea to play Perc.1 without much effort until the middle, and from the Frioso at measure 159, the other parts support the movement of Perc.1, and build up to the end.

The saxophone is optional, but adding it will thicken the overall sound.

*The above is just a performance example.

≪Composer's comment≫
In 2012, right after the new year, I heard about the death of my best friend at a hotel late at night the day before the performance in Nagoya.
The next day's performance, and the week that followed. I was filled with emotions that I had never experienced in my life.
Just when I was feeling so empty and hopeless that I couldn't move, a message from him left on my cell phone suddenly caught my eye. It was a casual sentence typical of him, and at the end, it was a daily email saying, ``I'm a fan of your song, and if you release a new song, please give it to me.''
Well, I thought he was that kind of person, so I decided to write a song.
There are no melodies that sound like prayers or phrases that sound like memorials.
Just what I think. What to remember. I spin it into words.
