Firefly by Nathan Daughtrey I Cadenza Twello 

Performed at the World Music Contest 2017 on the 14th of July.
Conductor: Robbert Houtkamp
The work centers on the belief that the two species of fireflies in Japan - Genji-hotaru and Heike-hotaru - are the ghosts of fallen warriors from the terrible struggle between two clans in the 12th century. Once a year, on the night of the 20th day of the fourth month, the fireflies re-enact the great battle on the Uji River. On that night, all caged fireflies should be set free so they may take part.
