In Japan, July the 7th is a holiday known as Tanabata, for which large celebrations are held throughout the country. The holiday is based on a legend about a young man and a young woman who are separated by the Milky Way and can only see each other once a year on this night. The Seventh Night of July is Itaru Sakai’s musical interpretation of this romantic legend. The alto saxophone and euphonium solos during the middle movement represent the two main themes from the legend.Der 7. Juli ist in Japan ein Feiertag namens Tanabata, zu dem im ganzen Land große Feste gefeiert werden. Er geht auf eine Legende zurück, der zufolge ein junger Mann und eine junge Frau, die durch die Milchstraße voneinander getrennt sind, sich nur in dieser einen Nacht sehen dürfen.
