♪楽曲解説♪
1999年、あるイベントのための音楽として、ホルストの管弦楽組曲「惑星」から「木星」の中間部のメロディーを用いた合唱曲を作った。それをもとにして同年にフルートとピアノ阪を作り、さらに、管打アンサンブル用にも作曲(CD「マジカルサウンズのマジカルサウンズ」BOCD-)。その後、30種類以上に及ぶヴァージョンを作った。
この吹奏楽(大編成版)は、2005年に作曲した「地球」、2003年に作曲した「火星」とあわせて、三部作「惑星」の一部となっている。
中間部ではトランペットのアドリブで始まるが、繰り返しして様々な楽器で演奏してもよい。もちろんアドリブ大歓迎(上記CDを参考にしてもよいだろう)。(伊藤康英)
