Commissioned by Takada Junior High School in Aizumisato Town, Fukushima Prefecture in 2010.
This work features a solemn and exotic atmosphere. Making the best use of percussion instrument sounds will give a high-quality performance. It begins with an energetic five-tone scale and a quiet melody invites meditation. Then, a group of drums and timpani solo from A breaks that. Present a contrast between silence and hubbub scene effectively. Allegro at D is the world of meditation. It is interesting to study how to produce the unique sound of the gamelan scale. The closing will sound brilliant with a fast tempo and beat.

*No unique percussion is used, and playable with one marimba.
