The words “lush” and “beautiful” best describe this wonderful new ballad from Yukiko Nishimura. Its whimsical lines and jazz-influenced harmonies are just right for intermediate string players: idiomatic and impressive. A true delight for players and audience alike.
The image of this music is the color of white. If I could express this “whiteness” in my music I believed it would be a pleasant experience for me. The music brings the smell of winter season: you can image the snow or chilly air, or maybe even clear skies and ice. One could also feel the joy of the holiday season. When you play this piece I recommend not using too much vibrato—it would be a good way to express the theme of this piece. However, from m. 22 you could make a thicker sound with much vibrato. At the middle section (m. 40), a brighter sound is needed for all instruments as it’s very vibrant and lively. Please enjoy playing (and creating) your own winter atmosphere.
