*Ghibli Melodies on Renaissance Instruments: "Pigeons and a Boy" from Castle in the Sky*
ハトと少年（「天空の城ラピュタ」より）
Step into the magical world of Studio Ghibli with this unique performance of "Pigeons and a Boy" from "Castle in the Sky." Composed by Joe Hisaishi and arranged by Atsuhiro Isozaki, this piece is beautifully brought to life by Yasuhiko Higaki on a tenor dulcian duet, using multitrack recording.
The dulcian, a double-reed instrument from the Renaissance period, adds a timeless and enchanting quality to this beloved Ghibli melody. This adaptation is based on the "RECORDER DUET FANTASIC" collection by Atsuhiro Isozaki, which features over 20 duets and trios originally arranged for soprano recorders. The dulcian and the recorder, flourishing during the same historical period, have always been kindred instruments, often sharing each other's repertoire. While it is unusual to use Ghibli melodies as practice pieces for Renaissance instruments, Yasuhiko Higaki presents one of these captivating pieces with the expressive tones of the dulcian, embracing the tradition of performing recorder repertoire on the dulcian.
