Note	The amazing performance of Mr. Ottaviano Cristofoli, the solo trumpet player of the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra inspired me to write a concerto full of melodies. He plays like a singer, and I feel as if I can even hear lyrics through his performance. As a result, this concerto, written for him, is full of melodies and 'molto cantabile'. I didn't write any typical trumpet passages such as fanfares or flourishes. The piece consists of one movement, but you'll find three traditional movements. The first part 'allegro vivo' has sonata form, which lacks recapitulation of a second theme. Followed by the second part, andantino lento. The main theme is the second theme of the first part. It is in G. Verdi style. This being an homage to the great composer and also to Italy where this concerto has its premiere. The third part is 'Le Danze (Dances)'. You'll find a lot of dance characters from western and eastern countries. Through these dances, we hope to spread the message of peace on the earth.

Note	Commissioned by and dedicated to the Hong Kong Chamber Wind Philharmonia, (Victor Tam, music director and conductor). Premiered on 19th February 2018 with Paul Archibald and Christopher Moyse, trumpets. The first movement is an extremely fast tempo sonata form in which two trumpets are always intertwined in canon. The second theme of the first movement is a homage of Haydn's trumpet concerto leading directly to the second movement "Passacaglia". Here, the melody of "Chocolate d'Amore" is transformed and quoted in the middle section, and continues to the third movement. The six-eight rhythm of the timpani brings back the first theme of the first movement and the melody of the second movement, which alternate and interact with each other to conclude the piece. 協奏曲的開首為「最急板」，是一個極快的奏鳴曲式樂章，兩位小號獨奏以$5361農曲式相互輪奏著。樂章的第二主題出自海頓的小號協奏曲，特意向作曲家致敬。緊接著是第二樂章「$5E15薩加牙舞曲」，引用了伊藤康英自己的作品《Chocolate d'amore》當中的旋律，並以變奏形式呈現出來。第三樂章為「活$6F51的快板」，定音鼓的6/8拍子和節奏重現第一樂章的第一主題和第二樂章的旋律，兩者以變奏形式穿插著，為樂曲作結。

Note	An opening percussion passage leads into a saxophone cadenza designed to display the soloist's technical skill. As the cadenza soars to a peak the ensemble makes a dynamic entrance. The contrast between the rhythmic music of the ensemble and the drawn-out notes of the saxophone brings the opening section to a climax.. This is followed by a quieter piu mosso section featuring woodwinds and saxophone, then the saxophone playing against the ensemble. Next there is anoter saxophone cadenza backed by muted trumpets and climaxed by an emphatic statement by the percussion. After a brief return to piu mosso and contrastive sections a rhythmic section backed by the percussion begins, the saxophone playing sometimes swith the ensemble and sometimes against it, and sometimes improvissing.. The final section incorporates jazz elements. Following a sustained Bb chord, the concerto closes with a cadenza accompanied by percussion instruments improvising in the style of traditional Japanese music. [Subliminal Festa KOCD-0401]
