My Shakuhachi Flute Performance
On May 4th at the Japanese Friendship Garden playing shakuhachi. Here's the finalized as my program I’m did. There was a Japanese anime group that wanted some Japanese music.
* Choshi “Original Searching”
Performed to re-establish the relationship between the player and the shakuhachi, that is most conducive to the state of mind necessary in meditation.
* Sanya “Three Valleys”
Sanya is a traditional piece that has survived in several versions. When a komuso (wandering priest) begged for alms at a home where a child was soon to be born, he would play Sanya as a prayer for a safe birth.
* Azuma Jishi “Lion of the East”
Eighteenth century Song depicts primarily the lion (shishi) dancing in a wild delirium of joy. Hence the title Azuma-jishi, 'Lion of the East.’
* Tsukikusa No Yune “Dream of Moon Flower”
This like composer 'Rando Fukuda's other shakuhachi works, are tinged with sweetness and nostalgia for the romanticism of the Taisho era (1912-1926). Written in 1929. Many of Rando's shakuhachi works are based on themes of childhood days or heart-rending memories, and amidst the shakuhachi repertoire this shines brightly.
