Commissioned by Inagakuen Wind Orchestra in September 2020, the advisor requested modern music that would allow each part to change tone and resonance by pointing bells in various directions.

In the first half of the piece, please try to create a different sound by pointing the bells in different directions and moving them to different places on stage (or you don't have to.) The wah-wah mutes on trumpets and trombones generate rhythm by opening and closing your hands. The diagonal lines between notes on the trombone are portamento. The trombone 3rd can also be played on the euphonium.

Composition means structure. I have given this title with the image of drawing a composition or pattern on the stage with sound.

(Hirokazu Fukushima)
