Program Notes
I suppose there are some who have made flower crowns when they were young.
This song was composed as an ensemble by friends of Toho College of Music, and percussion instrumentation was added to it to reconfigure it as a flexible formation. At the time of the premiere, all the members were female, so I tried to enjoy the wind and ensemble with a familiar and cute melody.
It was composed as a work played by a music student, but it is kept at a grade that can be played not only by junior high and high school bands (ensembles) but also by elementary school band. I am looking forward to a fun and cute performance.
