History (Sugawara Kuniyoshi):
This work is based on five well known Japanese folk songs. Yasaburo Bushi, from Aomori is a children's counting song which has made its way into the adult world and is loved by people of all ages. Itsuki Lullaby, from Kumamoto, is known throughout Japan, and in this suite the shakuhachi carries the compassionate melody. The mood brightens for the up-tempo Tsugaru Jongara Bushi, from Aomori. Sendo Uta (Song of the ferryman), from Hiroshima, paints a picture of the beautiful Seto inland sea. The suite concludes with the famous Fools Dance, the Awa Odori, from Tokushima. |
