[吹奏楽-スコア] アトラス〜夢への地図〜 (福島弘和) - スタディスコア

「自分の進むべき道を探す」と言うイメージで作りました。道を探すときには地図が必要なので、「アトラス(地図帳)」と言う題名になりました(ギリシャ神話のアトラスを表現したものではありません)。副題の「夢への地図」は、地理的な事柄だけでなく、これから夢に向かって歩んでゆく人生の道のりや方向を強い意志を持って探してゆく、人生の分かれ道をどちらに進んでゆくかを探すための地図と言う意味です。(福島弘和)

This piece was composed based on an image of “a map that charts out a route that guides people to their hopes and dreams.” As maps are needed to find one’s way, the piece was entitled “Atlas” (which is not a reference to the titan Atlas in Greek mythology). Its subtitle “a map to the futures dream” goes beyond simply creating a geographical image as this map aims to guide people in navigating the difficult choices in life as they stride towards their dream to find their calling in life with unyielding determination.

As for the performance of this piece, please perform the opening fanfare in a manner that creates an image of people striding forward resolutely. The time signature of 6/8 in Section “B” evokes an image of people finding their way into a future illuminated by hope. The opening fanfare motif is then recapitulated in 6/8. Please perform this section according to the musical nuances by paying attention to its composition and imagery while creating appropriate variations in the intensity of the performance.
