Lavande is the French word for the lavender flower, which is the inspiration for this work by Yukiko Nishimura. It presents an ideal vehicle for young string orchestras to explore the nuances of adagio playing with rich harmonies and soaring melodic lines.
Composer and pianist, Yukiko Nishimura, grew up in Japan. Ms. Nishimura graduated from Tokyo National University of Arts, where she studied with Atsutada Otaka. In 1991, she moved to Florida to study with Dr. Alfred Reed at the University of Miami and later continued her studies with Dr. Richard Danielpour at Manhattan School of Music. Other notable teachers include Ivan Davis, Dr. Sara Davis Buechner and Giampaolo Bracali.As a composer, Ms. Nishimura has written for many genres and has composed the scores to several notable silent films in America and Japan, such as Edison’s “1910 Frankenstein,” and “The Water Magician,” directed by Kenji Mizoguchi, as well as music for traditional Japanese Noh theater.

About the Music
LAVANDE is the French name for lavender, and lavender is one of my favorite flowers, colors, and scents.
This string orchestra work blends elements of both eastern and western music, creating a unique atmospheric
sound. The melody lines are recognizable as eastern in style, while the harmonies underneath are more
western in nature.
The music starts with a short introduction in a very quiet and still mood. I think too much vibrato is not needed
at the very beginning. From bar 6, the main melody should be played in an espressivo style, with each note
played carefully. In my music, the inner melodies are always important in all sections, sometimes serving as a
counter melody to the main melody and sometimes supporting the harmonies. At bar 24, the second section
starts with a gentle and peaceful feeling, serving as a transition to the next part. From bar 32, the music
becomes a little more tense and clearer. Play with clear detache bowing for each eighth note.
I hope the players can imagine and feel the various intended emotional expressions in this work.
