This work is a close-up of the encounters and relationships of trust between people, following the idea that friendship lasts forever.” After the passing of Satoshi Yagisawa’s close friend and work partner, Tsutomu Murata, a designer of Neo Create in August 2020, the composer began work on this piece. Murata performed music for audiences primarily as a leader and conductor of Kurume City Brass, a group which is active in Fukuoka Prefecture in Japan. Eternal Frienship depicts a five-minute chorale which explores “how music can convey that a close friend is indispensable to you, more broadly, everyone to someone,” much like how Murata conveyed the appeal of music to his audiences. Under the direction of the composer himself, the work had its world premiere and was recorded with the Kobe College Wind Orchestra.

Dit werk werpt een blik op fijne ontmoetingen en vertrouwelijke relaties tussen mensen en gaat uit van het idee dat vriendschap voor altijd is. Nadat Yagisawa’s goede vriend en collega Tsutomu Murata, een van de ontwerpers van Neo Create, in augustus 2020 overleed, begon hij aan deze compositie te werken. Murata musiceerde vooral als muzikaal leider en dirigent van Kurume City Brass, een ensemble dat actief is in de Japanse prefectuur Fukuoka. Eternal Frienship is een vijf minuten durend koraal waarin wordt verkend hoe muziek kan verklanken dat een goede vriendschap onmisbaar voor je is en hoe dit principe in bredere zin voor alle mensen geldt. Op een vergelijkbare manier wist Murata de betekenis van muziek op zijn publiek over te brengen. Het werk is onder leiding van de componist zelf in première gebracht en werd opgenomen door het Kobe College Wind Orchestra.

Dieses Werk betrachtet Begegnungen und Vertrauensbeziehungen zwischen Menschen, die überzeugt davon sind, dass Freundschaft ewig hält“. Nach dem Tod von Satoshi Yagisawas engem Freund und Kollegen Tsutomu Murata, einem Designer von Neo Create, im August 2020 begann der Komponist mit der Arbeit an diesem Stück. Murata trat hauptsächlich als Leiter und Dirigent von Kurume City Brass, einem Blasorchester in der Präfektur Fukuoka in Japan, in Erscheinung. Eternal Frienship besteht aus einem fünfminütigen Choral, der beschreibt, wie Musik verdeutlichen kann, dass ein enger Freund für jeden unverzichtbar ist“ eben genauso, wie auch Murata seinem Publikum die Anziehungskraft der Musik vermittelt hat. Das Werk wurde unter der Leitung des Komponisten mit dem Kobe College Wind Orchestra uraufgeführt und aufgenommen.

Cette œuvre examine les rencontres et rapports de confiance entre les gens, selon l’idée que « l’amitié est éternelle ». Satoshi Yagisawa commença écrire cette pièce la suite du décès, en ao t 2020, de son associé et ami proche, Tsutomu Murata, un concepteur de Neo Create. Murata se produisait en public principalement en tant que directeur et chef d’orchestre de Kurume City Brass, un ensemble actif dans la préfecture de Fukuoka, au Japon. Eternal Frienship prend la forme d’un choral de cinq minutes qui explore « comment la musique peut exprimer l’idée qu’il est indispensable d’avoir un ami proche et, plus largement, que l’on ne peut vivre sans les autres ». Murata savait certainement communiquer l’attrait de la musique son public. Eternal Frienship a été créée et enregistrée par l’Harmonie du collège de Kobe (Japon) sous la direction du compositeur lui-même.
