Description:
Bert Appermont composed Song for Sakiko during a stay in the cosmopolitan metropolis of Tokyo. 'Sakiko' roughly translated means 'flower child' and is associated with a dreamy, poetic atmosphere. Appermont used these associations as a starting point while composing. Song for Sakiko starts with a very lyrical theme based on a minor third that forms the basis for the entire work. A second theme builds up to the grand finale, which repeats the theme, but in a major key and the music slowly fades away, like ripples on a pond, as both themes can be heard dissipating into nothingness.
