(5) 'Maiglockchen', by Masashi Hamauzu from 'Vielen Dank'

To buy or to listen to this song and my other popular recordings on iTunes, Loudr or Spotify go here:

This is 'Maiglockchen' which (according to Google Translate) is the German name for the rather pretty flower 'Lily of the Valley' and is piece number 5 out of the 11 piece 'Im Abenteuergarten' - 'In the Adventure Garden' suite from the album 'Vielen Dank' by Masashi Hamauzu.

Please feel free to check out my Vielen Dank playlist for more music from this wonderful album ^_____^

This is a really pretty lilting and cheerful piece. At times it almost appears as if the melodic line is searching for something - a line which is capped by the even more wandering grace note ends to the phrases and different sections of the piece. The four octave apart simple C sharp resolution to the piece coming as a well timed end.

The sheets for this were expertly transcribed by a fellow Hamauzu fan and pianist ramonpiano:

And here is a link to his own wonderful recording of the entire 'Im Abenteuergarten' suite where the link to the sheets can be found.

On a different note, for those of you who like to read, I've written a novel - a work of absurdist fiction which falls somewhere in between Alice in Wonderland and Kafka - which can now be found on Amazon Kindle. Here is a link to the US store. The book is also available in other territories too, like the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy etc. Check it out!

hey there! thanks for the nice words and for notifying me of a possible mistake! always appreciated! i just checked on the CD itself, and the title is officially spelled how i have it.
so, this leaves me a bit confused. maybe it was a general error of hamauzu, or maybe a typo on the CD? but either way, as that is how it is officially referred to, then i'll keep this spelling, even if it is a mistake!
my thanks to you again! always nice to know people are keeping check on these things for me :))
