"Totem Pole in the Southern Sky II" is a piece by Masaru Tanaka, who became famous for "Methuselah." It is a revised and condensed version of "Totem Pole in the Southern Sky," which was premiered by the Yamaha Symphonic Band Hamamatsu at their regular concert in 1984. As the title suggests, it's like the music directly captures the warm and open atmosphere of the tropics. Similar to "Methuselah," the instruments play a very active role, making it recommended for concert programs or competition free choices for groups with a well-equipped percussion section. It's a piece that is rarely heard these days, but perhaps because it's not often performed, it has a fresh and impactful feel. (laughs) The sheet music for all parts is included. A considerable number of years have passed since the purchase, so there is some discoloration and yellowing due to aging. There is a stain on the percussion V score (see photo). The piece is composed of the following three scenes: 1. Dawn and the Totem Pole Dance at Early Morning 2. Ceremony 3.
