This traditional Japanese folk tune about a towering chestnut tree has been set in a lovely, flowing setting for two-part choirs. With limited text, this is a wonderful opportunity to present a Japanese text to young singers and explore Japanese folk music. Light percussion including hand drum, triangle, provides a rhythmic groove and a floating flute part ties the arrangement together for a full, but accessible musical opportunity. Instrumental parts are included in the choral octavo.
