Symphony No. 2 – Views of Edo – Franco Cesarini

Mitropa Concertwork Series Grade 6 – Duration: 45:00 https://www.bandmusicshop.co.uk/produ... Edo is the ancient name for the city of Tokyo. Inspired by a series of woodcuts by the artist Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) entitled 'One Hundred Famous Views of Edo', Cesarini’s symphony is based upon a few traditional Japanese melodies. The composition is divided into five movements in arch form: a structure in which the individual sections are arranged symmetrically around a centre. Each movement takes its title from a print from the 'One Hundred Views'. 2159-19-010 M
