This was originally a brass trio for Trumpet, French Horn and Trombone, commissioned by Greenpeace. Considering the current social dynamic, I have reorganized it into a flexible work for various combinations so that more people might enjoy.

As the title suggests, the work consists of three folksong movements. Movement 1 with a somewhat nostalgic tone is Kagome Kagome; Movement 2 with a quieter atmosphere combines Yuyake Koyake, Goin' Home (from Dvorak's New World Symphony) and Akatombo. Movement 3 is Nanatsu no ko in an energetic marching style.
