Program notes:
Created in 2015 for saxophone trio this is a revision of Benisashiyubi 2011 composed for Toys Saxophone Quartet.
The subtitle Benisashiyubi is an intriguing word I found in the Utsukushii Nihongo no Jiten Beautiful Japanese Language Dictionary.
Beni-sashi-yubi refers to ring finger.
However its meaning is a bit different than the English suggests.
Beni is the color crimson Sashi is to apply and Yubi is finger.
It refers to a crimson lipstick-applying finger since Japanese women use their ring finger to apply lipstick.
I tried to capture the alluring image of a beautiful woman applying lipstick in front of a mirror.
I also tried to imagine romantic melodies for use in lipstick commercials.
The overall style of the piece should be in retro-classical Showa and Taisho early 20th Century era sonatina style when Western music was popularized in Japan.
