Joe Hisaishi: ' Reprise...' from soundtrack to 'Spirited Away' - piano solo version

Joe Hisaishi is the professional name of Mamoru Fujisawa (藤澤 守 ,Fujisawa Mamoru) (1950-). He is a Japanese composer and pianist and best known for his many film scores. This piece comes from the soundtrack to 'Spirited Away', an Oscar-winning Japanese 2001 anime movie about a teening girl who wanders into a magic kingdom whilst enduing a suburban house move. It is the .highest grossing movie in Japanese box office history. On the soundtrack, this piece is scored for piano and orchestra. I have used the published piano arrangement, which is faithful to the original - although in the central section I have slightly filled out the accompaniment to a section where the piano is accompanied by orchestral quaver figures which are not shown in this edition. Also I have put a few tremolandi in to fill out some crucial long held notes.

@SouskeSagara1 Thanks for your messages. I don't have the sheet music - I borrowed it from a library and returned the score. If you search for the title on the MusicRoom site you should find it - I think it is in a book of Essential Film Themes.

There aren't many songs that gives me chills and makes me cry, but this song certainly does!

GOD BLESS JOE HISAISHI-SAN

I'm learning this piece right now, I really like your interpretation! The way you play the arpeggiated chords is wonderful, and you have great control over your dynamics. I hope to one day play to your ability :)
