Title Discription

Strawberry Pot

MIDI (20kB)
for Vibes & Piano / Comp. Naoyuki Honzawa / Dur. 4 min.
The first premier was at my friends' wedding party in The House Shirogane, on November 13, 1999. This has beautiful melodies and modulations. I think this is some kind of "domestic" "houseloving" music.

Comp. Naoyuki Honzawa / Dur. 4 min.
Composed in the style of the Yellowjackets, with unique use of harmony. You can hear the interchange of two styles, 6/8-Afro-Cuban and 4/4-Bossa Nova. Toru Dodo played Piano solo.

for Septet / Comp. Naoyuki Honzawa / Dur. 7 min.
I wrote this tune for 3-horn-ensemble at Berklee College of Music. It starts on unique 3/2 groove, goes to fast swing section, and ends with 3/2 groove again. The form is symmetric. Toru Dodo played Piano solo.

Rosebay

for Sextet / Comp. Naoyuki Honzawa / Dur. 15 min.
Original jazz waltz featuring my vibes solo in the top of the piece. This tune was first played on "Best Of" Jazz Composition Concert I, Berklee.

Hot Air

for 10-piece-band / Comp. Naoyuki Honzawa / Dur. 7 min.
A ballad on Lydian mode. Welcome to the Naoyuki Honzawa's Music World!! I wrote this song in extremely hot summer day, when I just got to Boston to study at the Berklee.

A Message to Myself

for 10-piece-band / Comp. Naoyuki Honzawa / Dur. 15 min.
I got the Charles Mingus Award from Berklee College of Music by this music. This is 15-minute-long jazz music for 10-piece-band, which has a typical motivic development technique. You can hear the development of the fugue motif of introduction and the series of notes, C-B-Db-C.
