Dance of Uzume is a concertino that is based on a Japanese myth. Out of anger toward her brother Susanowa (the storm god), Amaterasu (the sun goddess) hides in a cave. The goddess of joy, Uzume, succeeds in luring the sun goddess out of the cave by dancing wildly. The joy and laughter from the other gods as they watch Uzume arouses Amaterasu’s curiosity and with her appearance, the light on Earth returns. This fantastic new original work will provide a much needed addition to the advanced repertoire for saxophone and piano. It also comes with a demo CD played by the famous Japanese saxophonist Nobuya Sugawa showing you exactly how it should be performed.

Piet Swerts componeerde Dance of Uzume op verzoek van de Japanse topsaxofonist Nobuya Sugawa. Het werk is gebaseerd op een Japanse mythe: uit woede op haar broer Susanowa, de god van de storm, verschuilt de zonnegodin Amaterasuzich in een grot. De vreugdegodin Uzume weet de godin van de zon echter met een wilde dans uit de grot te lokken. Het gelach van de andere goden wekt namelijk de nieuwsgierigheid van Amaterasu en met haar verschijning komt hetlicht terug op aarde. Dit verhaal wordt in de muziek meesterlijk weerspiegeld.

Dance of Uzume ist ein auf einer japanischen Sage basierendes Concertino. Es Werk besteht aus einem konzertanten Dialog zwischen dem Solisten und der Begleitung. Dieses anspruchsvolle, abwechslungsreiche Werk mit lebhaften und lyrischen Themen, einem sehr melodischen Mittelteil, Blues und Marsch ähnlichen Motiven sowie östlichen Anklängen ist eine lohnende Herausforderung für Saxophonisten. Dance of Uzume ist ebenfalls für Saxophon und Blasorchester erhältlich.
