Concerto for solo alto saxophone and small wind ensemble.
Composed in 2017. It premiered at the annual concert 2017 of the Japan Wind Ensemble (Momotaro Band).
This work was commissioned by Keiko Kobayashi (the chief conductor of the orchestra) and Atsushi Nishimoto (chief concertmaster and saxophone player of the orchestra) and Musica Eterna LLC.
Harlequin, a popular person who entertains people.
Dressed in a quirky costume, what does he think under that makeup?
Even if you indulge in thought or shed tears without knowing it, you have to continue playing the clown on the stage for the expectations of the audience.
The composition seems to be the relationship between an individual and society, and it also applies to the relationship between solo and the band in this work.
