One Summer’s Day (from 'Spirited Away') (for Viola and Piano)

Joe Hisaishi  

Joe Hisaishi’s One Summer’s Day from Spirited Away is arranged here for solo instrument and piano duo, faithfully preserving the original structure.

The solo instrument and piano alternate between the main melody and supporting elements, creating a gentle musical dialogue rather than a fixed solo-accompaniment texture. Certain passages are omitted for practical performance, allowing performers to focus on tone, balance, and expressive phrasing.

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