Title of Piece: Into The Joy of Spring Composer: James Swearingen Publisher: C. L. Barnhouse Level of Difficulty: Grade 4 Piece Description: May 25, 2001, marked my third journey to the city of Ashikaga, located in the Tochigi prefecture of Japan. All of my visits have taken place in the spring and, as before, witnessing the azaleas in full bloom rekindled a spirit of great friendship which had been well established during those previous trips. It was during the concert on May 27 that Into the Joy of Spring, commissioned by The Ashikaga City Wind Orchestra, was respectfully dedicated to the 30th anniversary of this community band's existence and to its current director Mr. Toshiya Saitoh. It should be noted that, with over 1200 people in attendance, many in the audience described the concert as being spectacular and that the performance by the musicians, on this work in particular, was deemed truly inspiring. Without a doubt, a feeling of great joy was transcended, not only to an enthusiastic audience, but to the heart of a grateful conductor/composer as well. Adapted From www.jamesswearingen.com |
