Merry-Go-Round of Life (from 'Howl’s Moving Castle') (for Cello and Piano)

Joe Hisaishi  

Joe Hisaishi’s iconic Merry-Go-Round of Life from Howl’s Moving Castle is arranged here for solo instrument and piano duo.

The original structure and lyrical flow are carefully preserved, allowing the music to unfold with cinematic continuity. The piano accompaniment is crafted to clearly convey the rhythmic character of the orchestral score, while selectively omitting excessive counter-melodies to maintain clarity and balance in live performance. This arrangement is well suited for recitals, OST programs, and expressive encore pieces.

Required playing positions are Violin up to 5th position, Viola up to 5th position, and Cello up to 6th position.
