(The Wind Rises) Joe Hisaishi - "Journey (Dreamy Flight)"


Film (The Wind Rises)



)

Joe Hisaishi composes for Hayao Miyazaki's films for the last time in The Wind Rises since it is Miyazaki's supposedly last film. 

The mandolin is wonderful and reminiscent of Nino Rota's composing. The song really kicks up at 1:50 with the added percussion and tuba. Loving what the tuba low frequencies do to the piece.

I also suggest "Journey (Wind of Italia)" for some more of that liveliness. 

Ah, yes. And the film was marvelous.
