Tanabata (The Seventh Night of July) - Itaru Sakai
In Japan, July the seventh is known as “Tanabata”. There is a legend that a young couple live separated by the Milky Way. Yet on this night, only once a year, they are allowed to meet. Festivals are held throughout Japan to celebrate their reunion. In this work, composer Itaru Sakai musically expresses this romantic legend linked to the mid-summer night sky. In the middle of the piece the voices of the man and the woman are represented by alto saxophone and euphonium solos.
This will be the last performance of the Wind Ensemble before they depart for their competition at Hershey Park.
