Program notes :

On this work, “Japanese Folk Songs Selection”, I selected Japanese folk songs which I would like to be passed down to posterity. This time, the theme is “Songs from Homeland (Furusato-no-uta)”, and I selected pieces which will remind us of Japanese landscape.

“Japanese Folk Songs Selection” will be created in the near future, with other themes.

 Except few pieces and parts, I tried to arrange pieces like vocal music, not instrumental music. Therefore, singing may be a good practice on this work. Although without instruments, I presume singing will be a good practice so that you put together breathing and pitch with other players.

(Kouichirou Oguni)

This piece is suitable for a wide range of instruments and formations.

I think that many bands these days have a small number of members or groups, and I hope that you will take advantage of this.

I look forward to receiving your order!
