Review:      This arrangement of the theme song by Kitaro for the 1983 TV program "Silk Road" in 1983 was selected for the 12th Internation handbell symposium in Brisbane, Australia in 2006. The arranger writes that this music refelcts the history and romance of the historic "Silk Road," which was the trade route between Asia and the Mediterranean. The Silk Road contributed to the spread of civilization with the crossroad of cultures, ideas, religions, and goods, providing countless opportunities for exchanges between different cultures. Measures total 76.
