This beautiful piece was written by Keiko, a member of the Japanse ensemble “Vanilla Mood”. I don’t know much about this ensemble, but I am glad that this kind of music in the classical tradition is still composed today. Interestingly, a lot of it seems to come out of Japan, and out of movie scores. Maybe movie scores are the last refuge of Romanticism in this anti-romantic age; and perhaps it is the place whence Romanticism one day will return to reclaim its rightful glory.
