Bluebell

Description

Violin 1, Violin 2, Violin 3, Viola, Cello, Contrabass, Piano — Bluebell is a dainty little flower that blooms in spring. Its shape is like a bell. The main melody is quite simple; however, technique is not important. I suggest that the students feel the change of coloring in each section of the music. For instance, the beginning to m. 24 should be a light and warm sound. After that, the atmosphere changes somewhat. At m. 25 there is a gloomy kind of sound, representing; perhaps, a passing rain or clouds. The music then moves to a rift in the clouds. Sunshine will come later on. Please play this piece gently and with a sweet smile. Music by Yukiko Nishimura is some of the most sensitive music that we publish. This heart-warming composition exudes emotion and musical depth. A perfect way to improve the musicianship of young ensembles.
