This is a great opportunity for your ensemble to present a selection highlighting the musical styles of this richly vibrant culture. Written as a result of the composer's visit to Japan, this character piece is constructed in the style of a promenade...as if the listener is strolling through a traditional garden filled with sculptured trees and shrubs, fish ponds and beautiful flowers. The subtle melodic and harmonic elements convey a carefree sense of serenity, joy and peace to the listener. This will be a concert favorite for both your students and your audiences.
