5 Summer Songs to Enjoy Through Choral Music.

It's hot.
It's just too hot, isn't it...

How are you spending this summer?

For the past few years, I've been completely out of touch with summer-like events myself.
I haven't been to fireworks festivals or summer festivals in a long time.

I should be able to stop by the beach while traveling to Naha, but I'm so defeated by the heat that I don't even have the energy to walk around the city.

Moreover, summer travel comes with harsh realities: high fares, crowds everywhere, and skyrocketing hotel prices...

Even so, what I look forward to is the journey with my friends as we say to each other, "It's hot, isn't it!" and the break times at rehearsals.
Right now, we are in the final stages of rehearsals for an opera performance at the end of August.
Even while sweating profusely, the air is filled with the passion of heading toward the stage.

But today, I'd like to talk about something that might make this summer feel a little cooler—
choral pieces with a "summer" themeI'd like to introduce a few of them.

Those summer songs that bring back memories of student days

Even if you aren't very familiar with classical or choral music,
there might be some songs that make you feel nostalgic, thinking, "I sang that in music class."

Actually, there are many beautiful choral pieces that take the seasons as their subject.
In particular, there are many masterpieces with a "summer" theme that have a dramatic and somewhat bittersweet atmosphere.

This time, I've picked out some recommended choral pieces from among them that you can easily listen to on YouTube.
Please use them as a playlist during your lunch break or in your spare moments♪

🎵 Recommended Choral Pieces to Feel Summer

"Summer" from "Summer of the Wind"

The scent of the earth, the blowing wind—a piece that truly makes you feel the "Japanese summer."

A masterpiece that touches the heart when sung by children's voices.

This song is also famous as a school song. When performed as a choral piece, its rich harmony is its charm.

Straightforward lyrics and a melody that feels like a page torn from youth.

A piece with beautiful archaic phrasing, wrapped in a mellow, emotional atmosphere.

Conclusion
