Programme notes *: The suite "Capriccio on Three Japanese Children Songs" is a fascinating musical representation of Japanese folk songs, composed by the talented Japanese composer Yo Goto especially for wind orchestra. This suite consists of three movements, each based on a traditional Japanese children's song and creatively adapted to wind band form. The first movement of the suite, "Zui Zui", is inspired by a well-known Japanese folk song of the same name. In this lively and spirited movement, Goto captures the cheerful and playful atmosphere of the original song. The pulsating rhythms and sonorous melody give listeners an insight into the traditional music of Japan and invite them to immerse themselves in the country's vibrant culture. The second movement, "Kagome Kagome", takes up another popular children's song and interprets it in an innovative way for the wind orchestra. Here, Goto skilfully combines traditional Japanese elements with modern arrangements to create an immersive and stirring musical experience. The captivating melody and rich orchestration take the listener on an emotional journey through Japanese folklore. The third movement, "Ocharaka", concludes the suite with a joyful and upbeat finale. Based on another well-known children's song, this movement captures the energy and joie de vivre of Japanese culture and spreads an atmosphere of cheerfulness and celebration. The rousing rhythms and melodic phrases invite the listener to let themselves be carried away by the music and immerse themselves in the lively world of Japanese children's songs. Overall, the suite "Capriccio on Three Japanese Children Songs" by Yo Goto is a remarkable work that captures the beauty and diversity of Japanese folk music in an impressive way. With its imaginative instrumentation and sensitive interpretation of traditional songs, this suite not only provides a musical experience but also an insight into Japan's rich cultural heritage.
