夢への冒険：福島弘和 [吹奏楽小編成]

夢への冒険

委嘱元の先生から、「ディズニーアニメーションで使われているような曲のイメージで」と、承り、前半はロマンチックに歌えて、後半はジャズ風な軽快な曲を目指しました。

題名は三国中の生徒さんたちに命題していただきました。曲想にピッタリあった題名でとても気に入っております。

前半は流れを大切にして、自然なアゴーギグを付けていただければと思います。後半のジャズ風な部分は、ボンゴ、コンガの動きを基準にして、その上にアンサンブルを組み立てるようにしてください。イントネーションは本物のジャズを聴いて研究してください。

冒険を恐れず、夢に向かって夢を掴んでください!(福島弘和)

ADVENTURE TO A DREAM

Based on a composition originally written for Mikuni Junior High School and arranged for an eightpiece ensemble, this rewritten version was commissioned by Osakan Philharmonic Winds, and is arranged for a small wind orchestra.

The teacher who originally commissioned the piece asked me to write a song in the style of the score of a Disney animated film, specifically requesting that the song have a romantic feel to its opening half, and a buoyant, jazzy feel to its latter half. The students at Mikuni Junior High School were given the challenge of coming up with a title. To my great delight, the students chose a title that perfectly fit the spirit of the music.

For the first half, my hope is that the musicians will see fit to apply agogic accents wherever they feel it is natural to do so, with the flow being the most important aspect of this section. As for the jazzy section covering the second half of the song, I envisioned an ensemble building itself upon a foundation provided by the movement of the bongos and congas. For greater insight into intonation, I recommend listening to authentic jazz performances.

Be not afraid of adventure. Reach out and grab your dream!
