From the timeless Studio Ghibli Film: Spirited Away, One Summer's Day has been arranged for Piano Trio!

A gentle theme, Hisaishi later added lyrics and named the new version "The Name of Life" (いのちの名前, "Inochi no Namae") which was performed by Ayaka Hirahara.

In the arrangement for Piano Trio, all three instruments are equal and have their individual solo moments with the melody.

The difficulty level is approximately intermediate level.

Full Scores and Parts

This trio arrangement (for VIOLIN and CELLO duet with PIANO accompaniment) of the well-known hymn tune NETTLETON is a delightful piece for recitals and worship services. The CELLO and VIOLIN begin the first verse by alternately playing solo. Then the two instruments conclude the first verse by playing 2-part harmony. The second verse builds in intensity with 2-part harmony before returning to a more calming mood for the finale.

All notes for both the VIOLIN and CELLO are playable in the first position making this arrangement an excellent choice for early-intermediate string players. The PIANO accompaniment is written for an intermediate player. The purchase price includes a 6-page combined score (grand staff) with all three parts on each page (VIOLIN, CELLO, and PIANO) plus separate 1-staff scores for the VIOLIN and CELLO (1 page each) and also a PIANO only score (3 pages).

This arrangement is one of the 10 songs in the collection "Praise Him with Stringed Instruments, Book 1 (Collection of 10 Hymns for Violin, Cello, and Piano)."
