Shakuhachi and Percussion - Yoshio Hiratsuka, 1978 The first performance of this Composition was in his recital in 1978. This work by playing together with experts of Shakuhachi was in the news as original avant-garde one. The tune begins from an introduction with unique sense of color, and appears a fantastic time like a calm dream appears as the main theme of this tune. But suddenly, that dream is broken by a dynamic sound, and the drama of music is developed by extempore musical performance. The scene that three players compete for their own originalities and arts create a climax of this tune. And a cheerful rhythmical ensemble is performed by the part of Shakuhachi solo and Koto solo, the composition is over after the theme of "Illusion like a dream" appears again. It is composed for three players. Koto player uses three Koto. (Koto I , Koto II. Jushichigen) Shakuhachi player uses two kinds of instruments.(D and A), and Percussion player uses over ten kinds of instruments, (a marimba, a vibraphone, a timpani, a bass drum, a snare drum. cymbals, a wood block, etc.) |
