Park Day in Japan, Op. 153, for brass quintet was completed on 13 Apr 2024, and the YouTube video was finalized and posted three days later. This beautiful piece of music was largely composed in my head during a family visit to Showa Park in Tokyo, Japan. Tulip season was at its peak, the weather was superb, and the happy throngs of Japanese people enjoying the beauty of their park were inspiring. The lovely eight-measure chord progression is reminiscent of Pachelbel's "Canon in D." The harmonic eight-bar ostinato create a hypnotic foundation over which multiple lines at times reach a high level of polyphonic complexity, while at other times only the chords are present with simple rhythmic statement. This composition could be used for concerts in any setting, or even as a substitute for Pachelbel's famous work if a bride and groom are tired of the cliche nuptial tradition. Duration: 3:40.
