Shichi-Go-San [HL:44007250]

In Japan, a traditional festival called “Shichi-Go-San” (Seven-Five-Three) is held annually on November 15th to wish for the wholesome growth of girls aged seven, boys aged five, and children aged three. The composer imagined how a seven-year-old sister with five- and three-year-old brothers would go through various happenings, have fun visiting a shrine and strengthen their bonds. Reflecting the meaning of its title, Shichi-Go-San uses a lot of irregular time signatures to form a witty and resplendent concert piece. Dur: 7:00
