Program Notes:
This arrangement features five songs from the 2004 Studio Ghibli film "Howl's Moving Castle," designed for flexible instrumentation to accommodate various ensemble sizes. Each piece is stand-alone, allowing for customization and combination according to the specific needs or desired atmosphere of the performance. Changing the order of the pieces to suit the mood is also recommended.
The Flower Garden (1:00)
Cleaning (2:00)
Sophie's Castle (2:00)
Moving (1:30)
Merry-Go-Round of Life (3:30)
Suggestions for Combinations Within Five Minutes:
1. Moving + Merry-Go-Round of Life
2. Sophie's Castle + Merry-Go-Round of Life (from B to the end)
3. The Flower Garden + Cleaning (from B to the end) + Merry-Go-Round of Life (from B to the end)
4. The Flower Garden (from the 2nd measure) + Moving (cuts from measures 41 to 44 and the last measure) + Merry-Go-Round of Life (from the upbeat to E to the end)
About the Instrumentation:
- The minimum ensemble size is five, but the music is arranged to accommodate larger groups for a fuller sound. Optional parts 6 and 7 can enhance the performance, though they are not necessary. The trumpet parts in parts 2 and 3 serve a supporting role, not requiring every note to be played but providing accents and breadth when included in tutti sections.
- While drums and percussion are not essential, including a drum set can tighten the ensemble's sound, making a five-part plus drum set configuration recommended.
- The arrangement supports various instrument combinations, allowing for performances by homogeneous ensembles such as clarinet quintets, saxophone quintets, or string quintets, as well as mixed ensembles like woodwind quintets. It is also suitable for large ensembles and small wind bands, offering flexibility for different group sizes and instrumentations.
