This piece was commissioned by Japan Ground Self Defense Force Western Army Band. In the programme note for the premiere the composer wrote: I am always impressed by the expansive earth and sparkling ocean scenery when I come to Kyushu. I have met many local people here and they are all expressive and energetic. I wrote this dramatic piece to convey to the whole of Japan the memory of my experience here, swaying in the west wind. I wrote this, hoping that the Self Defense Force will forge closer ties with the community through this piece. Eastern drama felt in the west wind!

Dieses Stück basiert auf dem Motto eines japanischen Musikfestivals der japanischen Streitkrafte: Unsere Leidenschaft soll in unserem Herzen widerhallen. Der Komponist liess sich ausserdem von der eindrucksvollen Küstenlandschaft in Kyushu, wo das Festival stattfand, inspirieren und vom Wunsch, dass die verschiedenen Militarblasorchester der Region engere Bande knüpfen mogen, leiten. Aus diesen Themen entstand dieses ausdruckvolle, dramatische Werk.

L'oeuvre fut donnee en creation dans le cadre du Festival des Musiques Militaires des Forces armees japonaises 2010, qui s'est tenu sur l'ile de Kyushu. Le theme fut << La passion est en nous >>. Swaying in the West Wind revele une profondeur d'expression poignante. Depuis des siecles, Kyushu s'est ouverte aux cultures occidentales. Et c'est la force de ce souffle occidental, de l'energie des habitants de l'ile que Satoshi Yagisawa depeint dans son oeuvre.
