Composed by Henk van Lijnschooten. The Best Original Compositions for Concert Band/Popular Song/ Folksongs. Molenaar Original Compositions. Recorded on Molenaar Band Series No. 14 (ML.310014630). Full set. Duration 9 minutes, 27 seconds. Molenaar Edition #011609090. Published by Molenaar Edition (ML.011609090).The pentatonic, so characteristic of Japanese folk music, plays an important role in this work. After a short introduction, we hear the theme, which subsequently undergoes a number of metamorphoses. Sometime, the original theme gives way to other folk song elements. Towards the end, a new theme appears - a little Japanes dance tune - played by flutes and clarinets. Yet another theme arises from this. In the finale, the three themes come together, and finally the main theme predominates.
