Hi -- If anyone is interested, "Tsuru Kame" means "Crane and Turtle",
both symbols of longevity in Japanese culture.  The full name of the
second piece is "Genroku Hanami Odori" and it means "A Dance for the
Blossom Festival during the Genroku Era" (the Genroku Era was in the
18th century).

The third piece, "Kwan Jin Cho", is taken from a famous kabuki play
of the same name about the 12th century warrior, Yoshitsune, and
Benkei, his monk bodyguard.  These were all popular Japanese songs
at the beginning of the 20th century.

Regards, and Happy Holidays to All!
