IN HD
One of the most BEAUTIFUL pieces I have ever heard
and so well crafted. I just love this piece!!!
Symphony IV "Bookmarks from Japan"
Movement No. V.
Evening Snow at Kambara"
"Light is the Touch" duration 3 minutes & 40 seconds
Based on the bookmark/woodprint "Evening Snow at Kambara" by Hiroshige Ando which is from the series "The 53 Stations of the Tokaido Highway"
PROGRAM NOTES
Hiroshige Ando (1797-1858) traveled the Tokaido from Edo to Kyoto in 1832. The official party he was traveling with were transporting horses which were gifts to be offered to the Imperial court. The journey greatly inspired Hiroshige for he sketched many of its scenes during his journey's round trip.
In all, Hiroshige produced 55 prints for the series The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido. Fifty three of the prints represent the 53 post stations along the way. The additional 2 prints are of the starting and ending points. The post stations offered food, lodging and stables for travelers of the Tokaido Highway.
"Evening Snow at Kambara" was the 15th station Hiroshige visited.
The subtitle "Light is the Touch" refers to snow softly falling on the skin.
In this piece, the falling snow symbolizes spiritual healing.
The piece starts with solo piano, harp and alto flute. The melody is simple yet haunting and grows with the slow addition of players.
The piece ends with the same 3 soloists it began with.

The wind symphony at Eastern New Mexico University played Bookmarks from Japan yesterday and I was completely floored by the beauty of this movement. Definitely have to add it to my playlist.

[@sirtinyhead716]

Which group performed this?

[@jerrygrimes1977]

My band is playing movements I, IV, V, and VI for assessment. VI is hell at 154 for the trumpets. We're not taking it that fast. (Thankfully) As a trumpet player, I have to say I love the solo in this movement. But the way our first-chair flute plays the alto part is just too beautiful to not mentionas well.

The wind ensemble at my school played all 6 movements for mpa.
