Additional info/contents	The song «Yuki» (translated: snow) is a traditional Japanese children's song that is often sung in winter. It is about children's joy at snow and their activities in the snow. The melody of the song is cheerful and catchy. It has simple and repetitive lyrics that are easy for children to learn and sing along to. «Variations on Japanese Winter» was written by Hitoshi Takahashi for a Happy Penguin Brass family concert. Takahashi used the song «Yuki» as the theme for this set of variations. The piece demonstrates the sounds that each instrument in the brass band can produce. Each register of the brass band is introduced individually and highlighted by variations and solos of the respective instruments, and Takahashi quotes well-known classical orchestral works. At the end of the piece, all instruments are brought together to create an impressive finale. «Variations on Japanese Winter» is a fun way for both children and adults to get to know the instruments of a brass band and explore their individual sounds.
