Program notes:
The folk song "Itsuki no Komori Uta" (Lullaby of Itsuki), which has been passed down from generation to generation in Kumamoto Prefecture, was sung by still small daughters who were sent to serve as babysitters, lamenting their own lives while nursing the babies on their backs.
In 2016, I arranged it for trumpet and piano when I created a charity CD for the Kumamoto earthquake.
The song expresses the hope that we will always have sorrow, but also hope and kindness.
I would be happy if people of all ages could play this Kumamoto folk song, which has been sung from generation to generation.
(Ryoko Oyama)
