Program Notes

Over Great Waves and Far Away - A Celebration for Band was commissioned to celebrate Hakodate (Hokkaido) District Band Association’s 60th Anniversary in 2012. I had an honor to conduct Hakodate District High School Honor Band at the premier in November 2012.

The title, Over Great Waves and Far Away - A Celebration for Band has my wish for the association to be even more successful after the 60 years of history and has my admiration for this international fort city with innovative sense and forward spirit.

I always compose music that would link hearts between performers and audience and cherish each other’s lives. I did not intend to “decorate” the piece I often hear nowadays in band music, but I wanted the song to sing itself that would blossom [in] people’s heart. The band music is popular in Hakodate by all generations, and I composed in a way that young and old can enjoy.
