About this arrangement

2 Flutes & 2 Clarinets SKU: AP.81-WWE19159 Inspirations of a Japanese Zen Garden (Karesansui). Composed by David Marlatt. Woodwind Ensemble - Quartet. Eighth Note Publications. Score and Part(s). Eighth Note Publications #81-WWE19159. Published by Eighth Note Publications (AP.81-WWE19159). ISBN 9781771576499. UPC: 685462026500. English.A karesansui is a Japanese rock garden, which is an enclosed shallow sandbox containing sand, gravel, and rocks. The sea is symbolized, not by water, but by sand raked in patterns that suggest rippling water. This short work is peaceful, reflective, and accessible to young musicians. The major pentatonic scale is used as the basis for this composition, creating an interesting texture and evoking the sound of an ancient Japanese folk song. Written for two flutes and two clarinets.
