A New Singer Hiroki Takahashi

ORIGINAL PIECES

When Bravo Music commissioned "educational music that can be enjoyed by middle and high school students," the first style that came to mind was that of Jim Swearingen.
I was in band club in junior and senior high school when there were few Japanese works available, so Swearingen's music really helped us a lot.
"Invicta Overture", "Romanesque", "Centuria", "Seagate Overture"... the list is endless. I composed "A New Singer" in homage to Swearingen, wishing to have a similar sound. This is truly an "educational" piece, with soaring fanfares, exhilarating melodies, and a singable middle section, where each part has its own enjoyable role, and where basic skills can be developed through practice.
I hope you will enjoy playing this piece in varied situations such as competition, school festivals, and for basic training.
As the title "A New Singer", I hope that those who have recently begun playing an instrument (and those who have not) will practice with the image of being in the limelight on stage as a featured singer.
And "A New Singer" is also an anagram of Swearingen!
