This is the wind orchestra version.

The original "Chaconne" won the first prize at Sasagawa-Prize. This "Grand Chaconne" was rewrote to be as long version than original which can make much more effective climax.

This work was composed to intend to bring "Symphony Concertante" back to life as a new contemporaly music. This is written by special mode. Beautifl sound and contemporaly rythm are the forte of this music. "Muse" is the name of Goddesses who encouraged music. I named this work as "Muse Concerto" to express the intension and contents of this music.

"Sakura" is a very popular Japanese old folk song which means 'Chery blosoms". This work is written based on this melody to develop by using the technique of variation which can be played by ensy skill of performance to get effective outcome.
