“The One I Yearn For” is a song originally composed by Yi- Feng Hung with the lyrics by Jiun- Lin Ya, which made a hit during the 1950s. This song describes the bitterness of love and the desire of seeking romance. The overwhelming composition had been copied constantly by generations of singers. This concert band version was adapted by the renowned Japanese composer Shimoda Kazuki. The first half of the transcription was written in Moderato, which decorated with a smooth melody with the clarinet section. The second half added a distinctive character by adapting the Swing style, and thus became lively and brisk.
