「夕焼け小焼けの 赤とんぼ 負われて見たのはいつの日か・・・」
三木露風の作詞・山田耕筰の作曲により1927年(昭和2年)に発表され、童謡として広く親しまれている曲「赤とんぼ」。
トロンボーン奏者・荻野昇氏のCD「カクテル」レコーディングの際に編曲した作品。本作品では今回はオーボエダモーレのために音域等見直し再編しました。
都会ではあまり見かけなくなってしまった赤とんぼですが、私が小学生時代を過ごした広島市西部周辺では、学校帰りに通学路をのんびり歩いていると、とんぼの飛ぶ姿をよく見かけたものです。「赤とんぼ」の旋律を聞くと、懐かしい昔の思い出が蘇ります。(高嶋圭子)
"When was the last time I saw a red dragonfly riding on me beneath the reddening autumn sky...?"
The song "Akatonbo (Red Dragonfly)," written by Rofu Miki and composed by Kosaku Yamada, was released in 1927 and remains a popular song in Japan today.The original piece was arranged by the trombonist Noboru Ogino when recording his CD "Cocktail." This piece is an arrangement of Ogino's piece for the oboe d'amore that takes its range into account.
I often saw red dragonflies, which are rarely seen in cities these days, flying around when I was leisurely walking home from school in western Hiroshima City, where I had spent my elementary school days. Hearing the melody of "Akatonbo" brings back many nostalgic memories of the past.
