Hishou

"Hishou" are 11 little pieces about feelings of my childhood. It is a work for which I have very strong feelings.

I still remember the moment when I heard the melody of the first piece. This first song is about wanting to have a free heart. I was in the kitchen with my family. Then, all of a sudden, I heard this melody. I shouted, "I hear an amazing and wonderful melody!" My family still remembers it. And in no time I had finished eleven pieces. I had just started composing at that time, I had just finished the songs, and I had an opportunity to perform them to an audience. I remember how relieved I was when I heard from the audience that it touched their hearts. "Hishou" has been played the most so far. From the second piece onwards, I express in it my feelings as a child, which I was not allowed to show at home at that time. Once I wrote the German title of each song on a piece of paper and made a quiz out of it to see which song the listeners thought went with which title. It was a great opportunity for the children to listen carefully to the music and wonder how I express my feelings. I was happy to see that the children really listened seriously and enjoyed it.

For the last piece, I wanted to write a song about how I wish everyone would be happy one day. This melody came to me. It may not be classical, but if it touches people's hearts, I think it's fine.
