For those who are looking for scores written in the original song keys for wind and brass, here you are!
In this series, 40 popular J-POP songs are transposed for each instrument and can be played in the same keys as the original songs. (For example, if the original song is in C major, the score for trumpet in B-flat is re-transposed and written in D major to play in C major.) It is a great selection for a live session with other instruments such as piano or guitar.
*Please note: the chord names are indicated in real tone notation for all scores in the series.

Commissioned by the sound festival for The Scottish Flute Trio. First performance: November 13, 2008. Duff House, Banff, Scotland. In this work all three players in turn play each of the three instruments - piccolo, flute and alto flute - thus giving a contrasted sound to match the character of the four linked movements: hence the title. Sleepy using all three alto flutes begins on the lowest note - G. The mood gradually changes as they introduce higher pitches and faster rhythms as they wake up. In Lyrical a flute introduces the melody, which is then shared by a second flute and later by the alto flute. With Mischievous the piccolos arrive on the scene. The first one incites another piccolo and then the flute to join in. The tempo quickens and after a brief climax the mood quietens leading to Peaceful. In this last movement all three instruments are played. In turn they present a lyrical melody but in different keys so as to suit their individual tessituras.
