12 Japanese Songs
Product Details
Description
This piece was arranged for solo guitar for Jokob Kellermann in 2022. The whole consists of 12 songs, arranged by selecting very well-known Japanese songs appropriate for the 12 months of the year. The songs start with "Sakura" in April and end with a lullaby in March. (Only the first song, "Sakura", is a piece that already exists and was used here.) Several of the songs are folk songs of which it is not known when they were composed. (Sakura, Tooryanse, Edo no Komori Uta). Other songs were newly composed during the Meiji period (1868-1912) or later, when Western music was introduced to Japan, and somehow they entered the popular consciousness and became Japanese songs that everyone knows.
