- A Grade 3 Wind Band piece that is heavily inspired by modern japanese entertainment & music.
"In my high school days, I spent a lot of my time consuming and learning about Japanese culture & it's fascinating history. I've always had the desire to listen to and emulate modern Japanese music from J-Pop to movie scoring giants such as Joe Hisaishi and the like. I have a great appreciation for the culture because it has probably influenced me the most in my musical writing and has opened my eyes to different forms a musical thought can take.
Now here we are with my new piece, "Wishes & Wantings" ; A modern Japanese inspired piece that speaks to my own personal experience being surrounded by Japanese culture growing up in the West and what it also means to so many other people that I know and relate to from all walks of life.
Beautiful piece! Were playing this and it's very fun as a flute player with the fun and beautiful range from low notes to high!!
Conducted this with the NIU Wind Ensemble last winter for a conducting symposium - GREAT work and go Huskies!
I'm playing this piece in the USM concert band, and this is my favorite piece out of all that we're playing. This is really amazing and I want to say you're a huge inspiration for me, please don't stop composing!
Ohi I'm in band with you, fun. =P
(Yeah though, this is an excellent piece, thank you for writing it Kelijah!!! I've really enjoyed it and Stillwater when I've played both in ensembles here!)
Nicely done. Beautiful!
Lovely writing!
