私も進む道が見えなくなった時、音楽に対して真摯に取り組むバンドの姿によって救われた経験が有り、この物語を読んだ際に、何処かその時の自分と重なる様な感覚を覚え、そういったバンドの為に作品を提供させて戴きたいという一心から、本作を作曲致しました。そのためか、全体を通して思い入れの強い作品でもあります。
2006年夏に作曲。2008年北海道吹奏楽コンクール日胆地区大会に於いて、平井恵一氏指揮・苫小牧南高等学校吹奏楽部の演奏により、初演されました。(成田勤)
This piece was inspired by a book about witch hunts that I had read at the time. It is a piece with a strong narrative structure that comprises five sections, including a prelude that hints at fate, followed by sections on peaceful everyday life, sudden conflicts, the route from despair to redemption, and finally, rebirth.
I had obtained the help I needed by being part of a band that took music very seriously when I was unable to see any way forward. When reading this story, I was reminded of what I had felt during those testing times and I decided to compose this piece with my sincere hope that I can create a work for bands like that. For this reason, this work has been imbued with my intense emotions throughout.
This piece was composed in the summer of 2006. It was premiered in the summer of 2008 at the Nittan preliminary round of the Hokkaido Regional Competition by Hokkaido TomakomaiMinami Highschool Wind Band under the direction of conductor Keiichi Hirai.
