Description:
Japanese sounds, pentatonic scales, throbbing drums and (for Western wind orchestras something quite new), glissandi on the double-reed instruments. The fact that Molenaar's Editions for wind-orchestra are now sold worldwide has a reciprocal effect. Composers from countries such as Japan are gratified to see their work appearing in our lists of new publications. We consider ourselves fortunate that we have been able to publish this 'Japanese Tune', as we are convinced that it will exercise a refreshing new influence on the wind-music repertoire.Technically speaking, the opening section with its shrill glissandi is the most difficult. In the percussion, use can be made of the various Japanese Drums, but these can easily be replaced by Tom-Tom, Cymbals, Sleighbell, etc. etc.
