"Faraway Days" from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Arr. by Atsuhiro Isozaki (Dulcian & Rackett)
遠い日々（風の谷のナウシカ）
Step into a world where Renaissance instruments meet the enchanting melodies of Studio Ghibli! In this video, Yasuhiko Higaki presents a unique duet of the dulcian and rackett, performing "Faraway Days" from the beloved film "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind," composed by Joe Hisaishi. This arrangement is based on the "RECORDER DUET FANTASIC" collection, brilliantly arranged by Atsuhiro Isozaki.
Originally intended for soprano recorder duets and trios, these pieces have been creatively adapted for Renaissance instruments. The dulcian, a historical double-reed instrument, and the rackett come together to bring a timeless quality to this modern melody. In this performance, the tenor dulcian is played with a muted perforated bell, adding a soft, nuanced texture to the music.
