084 Fantasia Kyushu Mandolin Orchestra composed by Hiro Fujikake (Sheet Music)

It was a commissioned work for the 30th Anniversary for Fukuoka Mandolin Orchestra. The theme of this music is based on two fork songs from Kyushu- area, one is "Itsuki Lullaby" and the other is "Hietsuki-bushi (Love Song)". With thinking outside the box,Hiro uses methods of variation as well as symphonic technique on these songs. This is the first music for a mandolin orchestra to use horn to make rich and dynamic sounds. Clarinets and percussions are also used in this music. Of course, these additional instruments can be omitted according to members of players. Once, there was a group which has only 14 members and tried to challenge the national competitions and achieved an excellent result. Hiro was happy to hear that news.
