Dance of Uzume is a concertino that is based on a Japanese myth: out of anger toward her brother Susanowa, the storm god, the sun goddess Amaterasu hides in a cave. The goddess of joy, Uzume, succeeds in luring the sun goddess out of the cave by dancing wildly. The joy and laughter of the other gods as they watch Uzume arouses Amaterasu's curiosity and with her appearance, the light on earth returns. This fantastic new original work will make a much needed addition to the advanced repertoire for saxophone and concert band. A version for saxophone and piano is also available.
Piet Swerts componeerde Dance of Uzume op verzoek van de Japanse topsaxofonist Nobuya Sugawa. Het werk is gebaseerd op een Japanse mythe: uit woede op haar broer Susanowa, de god van de storm, verschuilt de zonnegodin Amaterasuzich in een grot. De vreugdegodin Uzume weet de godin van de zon echter met een wilde dans uit de grot te lokken. Het gelach van de andere goden wekt namelijk de nieuwsgierigheid van Amaterasu en met haar verschijning komt hetlicht terug op aarde. Dit verhaal wordt in de muziek meesterlijk weerspiegeld.
Dieses Concertino fur Altsaxophon und Blasorchester basiert auf einer japanischen Sage: Aus Arger uber ihren Bruder Susanowa, den Gott des Sturms, versteckt sich die Sonnengottin Amaterasu in einer Hohle und kann erst durch den Tanz von Uzume, der Gottin der Freude, wieder hervorgelockt werden. Mit ihr kehrt auch das Licht wieder auf die Erde zuruck. Piet Swerts' anspruchsvolles und abwechslungsreiches Werk besteht aus einem konzertanten Dialog zwischen dem Solisten und dem Orchester. Lebhafte und lyrische Themen, ein sehr melodischer Mittelteil, Blues und Marsch ahnliche Motive sowie ostliche Anklange sind eine lohnende Herausforderung fur Saxophonisten und bieten vielAbwechslung fur das gesamte Blasorchester.
Dance of Uzume (La danse d'Uzume) est un dialogue virtuose et lyrique entre le soliste et l'accompagnement. La trame se developpe sur un tempo unique et rapide. Ce concertino raconte un episode de la mythologie japonaise. Ulceree par les mefaits de son frere Susanowo, dieu du vent et des tempetes, Amaterasu, deesse du Soleil, se confine dans une caverne, privant le monde de sa lumiere. Ne supportant plus l'obscurite, les autres dieux se reunissent devant l'entree de la caverne pour trouver un moyen de la faire sortir. Uzume, la deesse de la gaiete, se met alors a danser frenetiquement. Intriguee, Amaterasu parait enfin et le monde retrouve la lumiere du soleil.

Devastata dai misfatti di suo fratello Susanowo, Dio del vento e delle tempeste, Amaterasu, Dea del Sole, si rifugia in una caverna, privando il mondo della luce.

Intrigata, Amaterasu appare all'entrata e il mondo ritrova la luce del sole.
