Ashitaka and San [Alto Saxophone & Piano]

"Ashitaka and San" is one of the iconic pieces from the film "Princess Mononoke," combining a majestic view of nature with lyricism that delves into the characters' inner emotions. The melody, encompassing a contrast between stillness and movement, symbolically depicts the conflicts and prayers that lie at the story's core.
This arrangement for alto saxophone and piano aims to reproduce the grandeur and delicacy of the original piece without compromising them. The saxophone carries the main melody with a human-like warmth, while the piano supports the harmony and expansiveness, lending rich depth to the entire piece. While respecting the original's structure and nuances, this arrangement brings out its charm within a condensed chamber music sound.
By carefully expressing the breathing of the melody and the flow of the phrases, the prayer and strength embedded in this work will emerge even more vividly.
