This imaginative setting of the famous Japanese folk song is as lush as the cherry blossoms it depicts. There are broad multi-octave chords accompanying the multi-octave melody, with mallet rolls and echoes adding to the resonance. The added verse on handchimes is a lovely touch. This rendition of "Sakura" is 60 measures in length.
