About the work

 

This is an arrangement of the theme song for the movie "Spirited Away" produced by Studio Ghibli for mixed chorus and piano.

 

It is characterized by aggressive arrangements that try to enhance the performance effect as a chorus without significantly destroying the image of the original song. There are also technical parts such as complex harmonies being used against easy-to-sing melodies, and two melodies intertwining, making the content challenging for intermediate to advanced performers.

 

The lyrics are written in both Japanese and Romaji (Alphabet).

Arranger's comment

 

After all, the original song is wonderful. I think both poetry and music are very simple, but they have something transparent and profound hidden within them. The first time I saw "Spirited Away'' was when I was in the upper grades of elementary school. Both the movie and this song are like precious treasures to me. This is a song that I hope will continue to be loved for a long time to come. The development, especially from the second half, is rich in variety, sometimes contrapuntal, sometimes fashionable. It is also ideal as a program for classical concerts or Christmas concerts.

 

It would be wonderful if you could play the part "A-ta-ra-shi-i ke-shi-ki ga u-tsu-sa-re-ru (A new scenery is revealed) " with such delicacy that it looks like it might break at any moment. I think that by doing so, the dynamic development before and after will be more vivid.
