Phillip Sear plays a piece from Joe Hisaishi's album 'Piano Stories' (1988), which contains a mix of original pieces and pieces adapted from his movie scores (eg, 'My Neighbour Totoro'). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joe Hisaishi (the professional name of Mamoru Fujisawa, 1950 - ) needs no introduction from me. In the album this piece is scored for piano and orchestra, with a prominent cello solo for the main theme. The music has some strange French text over it. At the beginning: "Sous l'orme, dans un petit village,étaient gentils les villageois, jouaient follement les enfants." (Underneath the elm, in a small village, were friendly villagers and wildly playing children); and " Dans le sens de soufflement doux du vent" (In the direction of a gentle wind blowing) over a quiet passage towards the end. The thumbnail shows children round a tree at a British forest school. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
