Arrangement for mixed four-part chorus and piano.
(SATB, with divisi in each part)
“Kono Michi,” with lyrics by Hakushū Kitahara and music by Kōsaku Yamada, is widely loved as a lyrical Japanese song and is included in 100 Best Japanese Songs.
In keeping with Hakushū Kitahara’s lyrics, I have given each of the four verses a different harmonic treatment. While maintaining good balance, I hope the choir will sing naturally and fully bring out the melody.
The interlude has also been given a substantial length, creating an atmosphere that allows performers and listeners to immerse themselves in the world of the piece.
(arr. Masakazu YAMAMOTO)
When performing this work, please be sure to purchase one copy for each performer.
