In Japan, July the 7th is a holiday known as Tanabata, for which large celebrations are held throughout the country. The holiday is based on a legend about a young man and a young woman who are separated by the Milky Way and can only see each otheronce a year on this night. THE SEVENTH NIGHT OF JULY is Itaru Sakai´s musical interpretation of this romantic legend.
The work was originally composed for wind orchestra and published by De Haske Publications. This version for brass quintet was transcribed by the composer.
