Going to School

A lively piece that is performed when Pumpkin and Chiyo are traversing the streets of Hanamachi on their way to morning classes. Incorporates use of Yo Yo Ma on cello, Japanese flute, and a koto (a Japanese string instrument). Very cheerful, with an overwhelmingly Asian feel. The koto and Japanese flute portions are particularly enjoyable.
