Part 1

Part 2
The first is a new piece by Seicho Okada, who will graduate from the Osaka College of Music in the spring of 2025 with a major in composition. From the A and B contained in "ARRIBA," he envisions a celebratory music centered on the A and B tones.
The next piece is "Xerxes" by J. McKee, the name of an Achaemenid Persian king. The unique sound line, reminiscent of the ancient Middle East, and the rhythm reminiscent of an army march will paint the audience in desert colors. This is a relatively easy difficulty level among J. McKee's works, and since it has a dark tone, it is played in the middle of the section to achieve a tight composition.
The work that closes the first section and will also be the main piece of this concert is the "Second Symphony for Wind Band" by Luis Serrano Alarcón, a Spanish composer who has been attracting worldwide attention in recent years. Since Alarcon is a Spanish composer, this work will be a perfect fit for this group with its Spanish-derived name. The work is also an extremely valuable symphony for wind band orchestration influenced by 19th century Romanticism, and is as large as any symphony by a well-known composer.
The second part of the program then features a selection of challenging popular music.
First is P. Williams' Rhapsody for Concert Band and Jazz Ensemble. This one combines elements of modern jazz, swing jazz, and Latin jazz, and the challenge of authentic jazz through this piece suggests that the brass band members have grown up.
The next piece to be performed is "Retro" by Masamichi Amano. This piece was a hit as an assignment for the 2023 All-Japan Brass Band Competition, and its composition of three genres of pop music and a variety of solos will be both fun and challenging.
The next piece to be performed will be "Sunny Side Promenade" by Naoshi Hoshide. This is a stylish and chic piece with a calm tempo, which has been a subject of the Symphonic Jazz & Pops Contest since its 6th edition. With numerous solos and double time in the middle, it is a masterpiece that is representative of pop music played by adults.
The last piece is "Beautiful Two Wings" by Toshio Majima. This piece, which sounds like French or Japanese music but is firmly in the American style, could be called a trip around the world in harmony.
