Hotaru Koi

Title: Hotaru Koi
Level: Grade I
Composer/Arranger: Arr. Nancy Fairchild
Publisher: Carl Fischer
Classification: Folk Song
Instrumentation: Full
Source: Popplers music score and program notes
General Comments: The melody of this traditional Japanese fok song is based on only four tones: B-Flat, D-Flat, E-Flat, and F. The lines move together with relative ease, even at Allegro 126. Translated, "Hotaru Koi" means "Come, Firefly, Come." This piece can be a very culturally educational experience.
