しかし、ホタル自身はこの「美しく生きる」というテーマは知るはずがありません。この作品では、蛍の光の優しさ・美しさに裏打ちされる生命力について、さまざまな表情で歌い綴るものにしようと描きました。
冒頭の低音から次第に現れるGADーのモチーフがホタルの光の象徴。これを元手にドラマチックなテーマが引き出され、思いがけないリズム展開と自由な響きの世界に向かいます。
実は創作にあたって、委嘱団体である愛知県立阿久比高校吹奏楽部の学生達全員と懇談し、彼らの自由な創作上のアイディアをたくさん出し合って頂きました。
私だけでは思いもよらなかったファンタジックな音世界を描けたことは、私自身とても嬉しい出来事でした。

If we look closely at the habitats of fireflies, they can be seen to inhabit places with pristine water. Their dazzling light draws attention to their existence and serves as proof of their lives. However, it is not possible for the fireflies themselves to grasp the idea of "living a beautiful life."This piece was composed as an attempt to celebrate the vitality that fuels the gentle and beautiful light of fireflies through melodies that convey a variety of emotions.The GAD motif that gradually emerges from the opening bass section symbolizes the light of the fireflies. This evolves into a dramatic musical theme that opens into a world of unexpected rhythms and unrestrained sounds.In fact, in the course of composing this piece, I had productive conversations with the students of the commissioning organization AGUI High School Band, Aichi, who offered me many ideas that gave me the freedom to compose. I am extremely glad to have been able to create such a fantastic sound that I would never have imagined on my own.
