Summary of This Book
This collection is the English version of "Masterpiece Library for Recitals: Studio Ghibli Songs Intermediate 1." It is intended for musicians who wish to capture the emotion and richness of Studio Ghibli themes through arrangements designed for the stage, featuring more elaborate writing than a simple harmonized melody.
The content emphasizes musical storytelling: phrasing, dynamics, balance of sound layers, and continuity of the musical discourse-essential elements for expressive recital playing. The intermediate level helps consolidate sight-reading, rhythmic consistency, and mastery of more animated passages, while maintaining the immediate enjoyment of highly recognizable pieces.
Included are pieces such as "Merry-Go-Round of Life" (Howl's Moving Castle), "Carrying You" (Castle in the Sky), "Opening" (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind), "A Rowdy Brawl (Pursuit)" (Castle in the Sky), "My Neighbor Totoro," "The Theme of Marco and Gina" (Porco Rosso), "A Very Busy Kiki" (Kiki's Delivery Service), "Ashitaka and San" (Princess Mononoke), "The Dragon Boy" (Spirited Away), as well as "Castle in the Sky." An excellent choice to build a coherent set, alternating lyrical and more rhythmic pieces, and enriching your repertoire with instantly evocative works.
