Cabriolet is a word that is used in French and German to mean a "convertible."On a summer day, I get into my beloved cabriolet, turn on the ignition, and wake up the engine! While staring at the tachometer, I steadily shift up from first gear and drive off with a bang along the coastline maintaining a speed with just a little feeling of tension! This is a driving song with a sense of speed.I originally wrote this song to be played as the main piece when my band decided to perform at a concert hall, but later, upon request, I arranged it for a saxophone orchestra and had the opportunity to have other orchestras perform it as well. I used the performance by the saxophone department at Ueno Gakuen University as a demo sound source. While the concert had to be cancelled due to the effects of the corona virus during the training camp, the department's students, with their teachers, recorded this piece of music and even completed a video.This video is very inspiring and gives me courage to see them working so hard and positively in a situation that would normally make me look down. I'm sure there are many people who have seen this video who feel the same way I do. Although I was not directly involved in the production of the video, I felt like I was given a wonderful gift by the fact that they chose my song. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the teachers and students of the saxophone department at Ueno Gakuen University.Also, I have had a great response to this piece of music, and after many inquiries about the sheet music I have decided to release it for sale.There are a few changes in the release.For the percussion, I have included the drum score, but you can use a cajon instead, as shown in the video. Based upon the nature of this piece of music, you can include an optional piano and electric bass for a sound with more impact.The sopranino sax and the bass sax are also be optional. In several parts, ad-libbed solos will appear. I prepared a sample this time, too, so please use it as a reference.In particular, I think that the duet between the solos in the second half gets lively, so please definitely listen to it!!
