Sakura, Sakura

Sakura, Sakura is a traditional Japanese folk song that celebrates the iconic cherry blossom. Often blooming in the springtime, the cherry blossom is a pink and fragrant flower found throughout Japan and across the world. The song represents both the beauty of the cherry blossoms and their arrival during the spring. Other interpretations also connect the cherry blossoms to the cycle of life and death, as cherry blossoms are an annual blooming flower. This arrangement is a jazz-inspired take on the traditional song. Using syncopation throughout, the arrangement is lively and festive. Available for 2-pt, 3-part mixed, SSA, and SATB.
