Japan's seasons are rich in variety. Composer Miki's diverse sense impressions have been painted sometimes lyrically, sometimes rhythmically, in a light work well-suited to the enthusiastic amateur. This 1973 work was put together from elements taken from dance music written between 1956 and 1972. The movements 'Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter' are followed immediately by a lively epilogue. The epilogue's rhythmic ostinato serves as backdrop for an improvised cadenza by the percussionists.
