Program Notes
The cheerful fast march Carnival Day was composed on the commission of Harima Minami High School. The wind orchestra of the commissioning school performed it for the first time.
The composer meant to write a cheerful march in traditional style, but it turned out differently. After a virtuoso "A" part in which two themes from along, a more supporting part follows. Much tempo variation then leads to a coda where the beginning theme as well as the theme of the supporting part returns. The composition is characterized by the fast tempo in which several elements are to be performed. Combined with captivating harmonic variations, this leads to a composition that is enthralling to listen to for both the audience and performers
