Mixed Chorus Suite: There is a kind of humanity in the world that is not just a path/Hideki Chihara

The first piece is based on the final sentence of "Various Poems," an essay/theory of poetry written by Ishikawa Takuboku for the Tokyo Asahi Shimbun newspaper. The third piece is composed by adding the opening poem of Takuboku's collection of poems, "A Handful of Sand," to Yabuno Ryoju's "Preface." "The first piece is a preface; the second piece is an inner/dreamlike world; the third piece is a tanka world; and the final piece is an endless dream. This four-movement composition was composed by Chihara Hideki to overlap Takuboku's life." Performance time: 1 minute.

1: Songs are my sad toys. 2: Rather than crying. 3: There is incredible kindness in this world. 4: Airplane. 5: ■ Lyrics
