Tropical Cafe - at the Resort

This piece is originally in a flute duet and piano version, arranged by Katsuo Mizushina for saxophone quartet.

The suite is inspired by a story in a café at a resort, but can also be performed as excerpts.

We would also be happy if the performers could freely enjoy the piece by adding piano and percussion instruments for optional parts and ad-libbing.
Please imagine your favorite café and play it. (Mari Miura)

A clear blue sky.
Reflected in a sea of sapphire.
Waves lapping on the dazzling white of the beach glimmer in the sunlight.
The Tropical Cafe, a charming building full of tourists on the shore.
It has a mysterious power that transports you into the world of whatever you order.
Word of its power soon spread, and now business is booming.
But who will visit today?

I.Bossa Nova on the Beach

Today’s first customers are a group of girls who came to the beach for a holiday.
“We need something to match our excitement!”
“What could capture the radiance of the sun reflecting on the beach?”
They’re having the time of their lives as they decide what to order.
“This would be perfect!”
One of the girls points out the Beach Bossa Nova.

II.Anniversary Waltz

At high noon, an elderly couple walks in.
“Today is our wedding anniversary.”
“We always talked about returning to this beach after we got married here, but we never got round to it.”
“Until today!”
The sun shining. Seagulls soaring across the sky. Waves gently lapping the shoreline.
It was exactly as they’d remembered.
Just like the waltz they danced at their wedding, they order the Anniversary Waltz.

III.Songs of Nostalgia

As the sun begins to set in the west, a customer dressed in unfamiliar clothes enters the cafe.
“I wonder where this sea leads to.”
The sun shines on half of his face, casting a long shadow.
Thinking of his hometown, he gazes at the menu. 
His eyes tinged with sorrow, he comes across the Song of Nostalgia.

IV.Happy Samba

Flaming torches are lit as the sun falls beyond the horizon.
When you feel a little lonesome as an exciting day draws to a close, treat yourself to the cafe’s most uplifting item.
The Happy Samba!

May tomorrow be filled with happiness.
