Symphonic Poem for Wind Orchestra-This piece was commissioned by Matsudo Citizen Wind Orchestra for their 30th anniversary concert and premiêred by the band conducted by Kenichiro Hasunuma in July 2009.

Ramses the prince directly descended from the Pharaoh envied Moses’ strength and popularity. After internal argument Moses decides todeliver the Hebrew from the Pharaoh’s tyranny and escape from Egypt with them.The music starts with brilliant royal fanfare and depicts magnificent architecture the Hebrew people forced into hard labour and the slaves escaping from the Pharaoh’s tyranny. At the climax they are at crisis point trapped by the sea. Moses waves his staff and the miracle happens; the sea parts and Hebrew people successfully escape. Following on from Perseus - A Hero’s Quest in the Heavens this work Moses and Ramses is another piece written in the dramatic style favoured by Satoshi Yagisawa.
