This piece was inspired by a variety of music such as Broadway musicals, French cancan, and circus marches. A special rhythm pattern called “Ipponjime” (or “Sanbonjime”) is played by the percussion (3 + 3 + 3 + 1) in the first four measures.This is how people freely clap their hands when ceremonies or parties end in Japan. This custom of clapping hands reflects Japanese people’s spirit to readily move on to the next step. As the infectious work comes to its exciting conclusion every player shouts “yeah!”ensuri ng you will definitely hear rapturous applause!

Aan dit werk liggen diverse muzikale inspiratiebronnen ten grondslag, zoals Broadwaymusicals, de Franse cancan en circusmarsen. Een Japans ritmepatroon komt in de eerste vier maten naar voren in het slagwerk. Het centrale deel bevatsolo’s voor xylofoon en piccolo, die in de smaak zullen vallen bij uw publiek, zeker wanneer de solisten al improviserend een aantal technische staaltjes laten horen. Indien gewenst kan de instrumentatie worden gewijzigd. Na hetsologedeelte komt het eerste thema terug en volgt er een opbouw naar een opwindend slot, waar iedere speler “yeah!” roept. Met wat aanvullende showelementen zal het applaus nog uitbundiger zijn.

Zu diesem Werk ließ sich der Japaner Takamasa Sakai von einer breiten Palette an unterhaltsamen Musikstilen inspirieren, wie z.B. Broadway-Musicals, französischem Cancan und Zirkusmärschen. Aufregende Soli für Xylophon und Piccolo, Gelegenheiten zur Improvisation, ein traditionelles japanisches Klatsch-Rhythmusmuster sowie ein spannendes Finale sind die Zutaten zu einem Stück, das dem Publikum mit Sicherheit den im Titel versprochenen Applaus entlocken wird!

Applause! (“Applaudissements� �€) s’inspire de divers styles musicaux tels que les comédies musicales de Broadway, le célèbre French cancan et plusieurs airs de marches de cirque. Le développement est surprenant, rafraîchissant et plaisant la fois pour les musiciens et le public.

Applause! s’ispira a diversi stili musicali quali le commedie musicali di Broadway, il celebre cancan e marce circensi. Lo sviluppo è sorprendente, fresco e piacevole per i musicisti ed il pubblico.

When the circus comes to town, one of the main attractions for children of all ages is the clowns. Their humorous antics always get the show rolling and they frequently move through the audience with their happy and sometimes sad faces. This work is a delightful composition that reflects on both personalities of the circus clowns. (2:30).
