Song of Moonlight-Forest was written originally for my alma mater in 2002. I re-edited the piece to be utilized for small band up to large ensemble.

The music setting is an imaginary place called a "Moonlight-Forest". With no specific story, it portrays events of the forest. The first movement, Prelude regards the place; dark forest, animals who live there and foreboding something might happen... The second movement, Songs is about moonlight shining warmly over the forest and moon fairies. The final movement, Dances shows the fairies dancing. Have fun playing the piece and creating your own stories.
