Sample Mp3

Komorebi (pronounced kō-mō-leh-bē), is a beautiful Japanese word with a beautiful meaning. To borrow from morethantokyo.com "Literally, "sunlight leaking through trees," this word describes the beauty and wonder of rays of light dappling through overhead leaves, casting dancing shadows on the forest floor.” With no English equivalent, this title captures the essence of this piece. Musically, the use of minor vs Major and some other color tones are used to represent the light rays or the absence of light rays moving through the leaves. Silences and motion are key to performing this piece well. At just under 2 mins, this solo should leave you wanting more just like a walk in the woods makes you want to return as soon as possible.
