A Tale of Kitten Suite for SATB Chorus a cappella (Koneko Monogatari)

In composing this suite, Ko MATSUSHITA was strongly 
influenced by unaccompanied Hungarian and Scandinavian works
for choirs. The composer hopes his work could assist choirs
to develop their listening skills through singing this 
suite. "Life Defends" was selected in 1995 as one of the 
compulsory works in 48th National Choral Competition.
