Review:
Brenda E. Austin brings us this hauntingly beautiful arrangement of the well known Japanese folk song Sakura. Singing bell, optional bowed chimes and percussion add to the ethereal atmosphere of the piece. Audiences will be transfixed by the enchanting melody, pentatonic scale and non-western sounds. Percussion parts included. 68 measures.
