Program Notes:
Commissioned in 2009 by Kita Junior High School in Kitami City, Hokkaido. The original title was "ELYSIUM", but I changed it to "DIVERTIMENTO" in pursuit of more freedom of thought. I first met the three performers who premiered this piece when they were still in the 6th grade of elementary school. For their greeting, they played a concerto by Jolivet (not only alone but also with two pianists). The vivid memory became the foundation of this work, which is in the style of a multi-percussion solo and an ensemble of keyboard instruments (including percussion). The following is part of the program note I wrote at the time of the premiere. The piece begins with a monotonous wooden drum that gradually begins to develop a pitch, leading to a solo performance centered on membranophones. With this as the axis, the rhythm and melody change shape and color as they travel through "paradise". The "paradise" refers to a world filled with music and percussion. I look forward to a performance filled with hope that will take us to such an ideal world.

グラステイルってどこの国の人なんだろうって思ってた中学生時代の自分。
まさか自分の学校にレッスンに来ていた強面のおっちゃんやったなんて…笑
自分は打楽器ではなかったから関わる機会多くなかったけど、たまに合奏のレッスンしてくれたときは非常に分かりやすい表現で的確に指示をしていただいた印象です。
