Traditional Japanese Folksong
(4 "C" Flutes, Alto, Bass and Contra Bass Flutes with "C" Substitute Part for Alto Flute)
This is a traditional Japanese folksong depicting spring, the season of cherry blossoms.

"Sakura, Sakura" is based on a distinctive pentatonic scale. The melody is simple and basic without many notes or difficult rhythms. Even though the definition of "Sakura, Sakura" is cherry blossoms, depicting spring; the melody has a cetain melancholy quality. Today's multicultural awareness makes this well-known Japanese folksong a good bet for any concert program. Your ensemble will find it easy to pour all of their emotions and passion into performing this lovely piece. Its haunting melody will enchant musicians and audience alike as the players emulate the Japanese characteristics of the song.
