about

"requiem", strings um

"strings um" is a musical unit by Takanori Niimura, violinist, and Yasuko Ishibiki, pianist and Biwa (Japanese lute) player.
Original musical pieces were composed by Mr. Osamu Saruyama.
Ishibiki arranged all of them and plays tranquil piano for 6 variations of requiem. Niimura plays violin and overdubbed two melodies for track No.3, 5 and 8.

I strongly would recommend you to listen to all pieces in the original order, so that you would realize our concept of "requiem", to calm souls in this world and pray for peace.
