Night Rain NotesHattori Hiroko
Hiroko Hattori’s masterpiece “Yau Sho” is distinguished by a warm yet heartrending melody.
While Hattori often favors songs that emphasize the lower register, this piece is different.
For her repertoire, it spans a somewhat wider vocal range, and the chorus briefly reaches a high passage.
Overall, it sits in the mid-to-high range, and there are no intricate melismatic inflections requiring rapid pitch changes, making it a very singable song for women with higher voices.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
