My home country, Japan, inaugurates the season of the blooming cherrytree with ceremonies of welcome and commencement. I wanted tocompose a piece that captures the wondrous feeling of these ceremonies; apiece that could project sentiments of elation or of hopes for a brighteningfuture.The beginning of the piece through m. 28 should be played with muchexpression. Inner melodies are also important. A lighter atmosphere isintroduced in m. 29. The staccato figures in this passage are representative of a lighter mood. The music expands from m. 45 and features longer phrases. In m. 75 the harmonic patterns become more dramatic, only to return to calmness of the opening.I hope the players will feel full of vitality, hope and dreams in thismusic. And I would be very happy if I could see their smiles at the end.

The Cherry Tree is a beautiful and lyrical folk song dating back as early as the 15th century in the English Midlands. Having traveled all around western Europe, this folk tune eventually found its way to America, gaining popularity in the South in early 1900s and again in the 1960s. This setting, by composer Brian Beck, captures the beauty and simplicity of the original ballad while encouraging musical expression and smooth phrasing.

Cecil Armstrong Gibbs was a prolific and versatile English composer of the 20th century. Gibbs is best known for his output of songs, but he also wrote a considerable amount of music for the amateur choirsthat he conducted. His reputation as a song-writer largely lies in his natural gift for text setting - he insisted on giving priority to the words over the music and had very clear musical ideas on what a song shouldbe.
These principles prevailed when writing The Cherry Tree in 1949 - the Voice is clearly put to the foreground, with the Piano only supporting the singer in the background, so a confident and capableperformance is needed from the soloist. Words by Margaret Rose. Performance time approximately 3 minutes.
