Additional info/contents	This arrangement features five songs from the 2004 Studio Ghibli film "Howl's Moving Castle," designed for flexible instrumentation for various ensemble sizes. Each piece stands on its own and can be adapted and combined depending on the specific needs or desired atmosphere of the performance. It is also recommended to change the order of the pieces to suit the mood. The Flower Garden (1:00) The Cleaning (2:00) Sophie's Castle (2:00) Moving (1:30) The Carousel of Life (3:30) Suggestions for combinations within five minutes: 1. Moving + Carousel of Life 2. Sophie's Castle + Merry-Go-Round of Life (from B to the end) 3. The Flower Garden + Cleaning (from B to the end) + Merry-Go-Round of Life (from B to the end) 4. The Flower Garden (from the 2nd bar) + Moving (cuts from bars 41 to 44 and the last bar) + Merry-Go-Round of Life (from the upbeat on E to the end)About the instrumentation: - The minimum ensemble size is five, but the music is arranged to accommodate larger groups as well for a fuller sound. The optional parts 6 and 7 can enrich the performance but are not necessary. The trumpet parts in parts 2 and 3 have a supporting function where every note does not have to be played, but which adds accents in the tutti sections and extends the piece. - While drums and percussion are not essential, the inclusion of a drum kit can enhance the sound of the ensemble, so a five-part plus drums scoring is recommended. - The arrangement supports various instrument combinations, so it can be performed by homogeneous ensembles such as clarinet quintets, saxophone quintets or string quintets, as well as mixed ensembles such as woodwind quintets. It is also suitable for large ensembles and small wind bands, offering flexibility for different group sizes and instrumentation. Takashi Haga
