Music All Around
Sequence	Contents	Explanation
1	Overture to Candide (4:36)	《Candide 》overture was composed by Leonard Bernstein, a conductor and composer. In the beginning, all kinds of energetic music jump in with brisk and vibrant notes, making people can’t help but use their hands and feet to clap with beats of the overture. This overture includes several sections of different rhythm connecting with each other because it is an arrangement from Voltaire’s 《Candide》musical play overture. That’s why the whole musical elements are rich and diverse. During New York Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra’s ice-breaking concert trip to North Korea in 2008, they chose this brisk overture to encourage people to remove barriers in their hearts.
2	Sea of Wisdom (7:30)	《Sea of Wisdom》is a work from Japanese composer Shimizu Daisuke. This music starts with a serene rhythm to represent sea in the morning. Clarinet mimics sea gal’s voice and French horn’s melodious rhythm presents the view of a ship setting sail to sea. And then, beats start to speed up gradually to bring out a magnificent view from the orchestra’s exquisite melody. This is then followed by alto saxophone’s graceful performance section. It seems that the sea is taking care of people with its warm affection, just as a mother does to her child. We’d like to present this wonderful music full of watery image to Sun Moon Lake.
3	John Williams in Concert (5:30)	John Williams is an important American contemporary composer. His works range from the ones played during American important national ceremonies to magnificent changing movie music. They encourage people and therefore John Williams has become the most familiarized movie music composer in the history of movie. This suite was arranged by Paul Lavender who connects a series of well-known movie theme music such as Star War, ET and Superman. This suite starts with magnificent timpani which leads audience into a whole new experience over these well-known music.
4	Clarinet Cocktail (4:30)	Wim Laseroms composed this for clarinet. He used chromatic to present brisk melody and rich skill. Together with the whole orchestra’s performance, the beautiful and yet full of beats music easily wins audience’s hearts.
5	Aladdin (5:10)	In this 1992 Disney movie of Aladdin, there are so many popular sound tracks ranging from “Arabian’s Night” which is full of Arabian elements to the soft everlasting song of “A Whole New World.”They are so popular even after so many years. This wind band version arranged by Paul Jennings fully demonstrates orchestra’s performance characteristics of being both magnificent and yet soft and gentle.
6	Michael Jackson : Through the Years (6:10)	Pop music king Michael Jackson’s numerous well-known songs over the years have been arranged by composer Michael Brown to become a music full of tastes when played by an orchestra. It includes songs of “I Want You Back,” “I’ll Be There,” “Rock with You” and “Thriller,” bringing audience back to the 80’s when the Pop King rose.
7	J-pop Stage (6:30)	“One Piece” comic movie sound track is vivid and impressive. This is a version arranged by Sawako Yamasato who delicately connects numerous songs in the movie. The journey starts over and over again and the responding ending music leads audience to a journey of spirit together with the orchestra’s performance.
8	Tequila (1:30) Brazil (2:10)	Tequila and Brazil are two fast tempo ballads full of central/south American tastes. Various percussion instruments make up exotic tastes, bring audience to clap hands and even dance.
