This lovely, original work by Haruto Katayama is centered around a main theme and the composer explains, “…the music unfolds like a film soundtrack, where scenes quietly emerge, shift, and fade away.” It is lyrical with an engaging melody and creative progressions and developments that will truly speak to the heart of ringers and audience alike. It is Rung throughout with nicely placed LV phrases and includes dynamic expressions such as flowing, misterioso, tranquillo, and freely. Tempo is q=73 with a variety of nuanced tempo changes including meno mosso, accel., and ritardando.
Haruto wrote: “I hope both performers and listeners will find their own ‘scenery’ and ‘story’ breathing softly within this music, and that the piece will grow into something cherished for years to come.”
