Pater Noster
for Clarinet Octet
Takanawadai High School Wind Orchestra commissioned my Capriccio for Clarinet Octet in 2002, which caused them to commission another octet.
"Pater Noster means "Our Father" in Latin. I did not compose from a specifically religious point of view, but rather with a feeling of awe and reverence toward the magnificent power of nature, expressed with a type of ethnical prayer."
Takanawadai High School Wind Orchestra’s clarinet section performed Pater Noster wonderfully at the 29th All Japan Ensemble Contest. Also, I wish to thank professional clarinetist Jun Tsukimura.
