Satoshi Yagisawa is well known for his dramatic symphonic band compositions. Even though he has written relatively few marches, they are also very popular: March Willing and Able is based on a chorale while March Bou Shu is based on a Japanese folk song. The Memory of Our Native Place is a rather unusual piece for Yagisawa, as it actually closely resembles a traditional march. The piece opens with a lively fanfare and is contrasted by the following theme. The trio features a chorale-like melody.

Satoshi Yagisawa is vooral bekend van zijn dramatische orkestwerken. Marsen schreef hij nog maar weinig. Die paar die hij schreef, zijn inmiddels allemaal wel erg geliefd en populair; March Willing and Able is gebaseerd op koraalmuziek en in March Bou Shu is een Japanse volksmelodie verwerkt. Deze nieuwe mars, The Memory of Our Native Place, begint met een stralende fanfare. Daarna klinkt een innig thema. In het triodeel komt een koraalachtige melodie naar voren. Kortom: hieraan houdt uw publiek zeker een mooie herinnering!

Satoshi Yagisawa ist bekannt für seine dramatischen Blasorchesterwerke - Märsche hat er bisher nur sehr wenige, dafür aber sehr beliebte geschrieben. Zwei davon sind March Willing and Able und March Bou Shu - der eine auf choraler Musik, der andere auf einem japanischen Volkslied basierend. The Memory of Our Native Place beginnt mit einer strahlenden Fanfare, bevor ein inniges Thema erklingt. Im Trio tritt eine choralartige Melodie hervor.

The Memory of our Native Place n’est pas une marche conventionnelle, mais contient néanmoins quelques éléments standard. Elle s’ouvre avec une fanfare brillante, suivie par un thème pétillant de fraîcheur marqué par une joyeuse alternance de réponses entre bois, cuivres et cuivres graves. La mélodie chantante du trio mène fi nale haut en couleurs faisant de The Memory of our Native Place une incontournable marche de concert.

Satoshi Yagisawa ha composto oltre cento brani per fi ati, ma solamente quattro marce, tra le quali ricordiamo le acclamate March Willing and Able e March Bou Shu, la prima basata su musica corale, la seconda su una canzone folk giapponese. Con The Memory of our Native Place, Yagisawa si allontana dal suo stile poco convenzionale, componendo una marcia che si avvicina agli schemi standard. L’inizio vede protagonista una fanfara brillante, seguita da un tema più intimo. Il trio espone una melodia simile a un corale.
