(Spring Sea) was Composed by Michio Miyagi (1894-1956), a blind genius of modern koto music. As Miyagi understood Western music as well as his own, his work blends Western and Eastern harmonies very skillfully. A piece so well known internationally that it has been adopted for many Western instruments, it is best appreciated in the koto and shakuhachi duet for which it was written, as presented here.

This is the best loved piece composed by Miyagi in 1929 who was renowned as a koto player as well as a composer. This work is in ternary form (A-B-A): A (Andante) describes the seagulls playing on the waves; B (Allegro) a gay sea song and the joy of Spring.

	Shakuhachi - Reibo Aoki (LP)	箏 : 上條妙子 尺八 : 二世 青木 鈴慕
The title refers to the scenery of the seaside in spring. The sound of the swirling, rising and falling waves and the call of small birds is also described. However, this world renown piece, in a gradual expansion of meaning, has become known on its own merits as a clear expression of the music in a man's heart. What do people think after a glance at the broad expanse of the spring sea, which seems to have been calm for so long? I intend to contemplate the meaning of life as I play and listen to this piece. Music is not a reflection of something else. Every interpretation, every person - all are music.

Michio Miyagi (1849-1956), one of the most prolific and original composes of koto music in the 20th century, compoased Haru no Umi "Spring Sea" in 1929 as an image of Japan's Inland Sea. "Spring Sea" was originally composed for shakuhachi and koto, but became a hit in 1932 after Miyagi recorded it with a French violinist. The opening phrases have become Japan's musical theme for the New Year's holiday. It is perhaps the finest example of the "New Japanese Music" movement of the 1920's, and is a rare and early success in the fusion of Western and Japanese musical elements.
	Sui Zen - Blowing Meditation on the Shakuhachi - 05	尺八 : Ronnie Nyogetsu Reishin Seldin
This piece was written around 1920 by Michio Miyagi. The name means, "Sea in Spring," and is played on a 1.6 length instrument, as is much of the new music. This is a reduced version of the score, and only the shakuhachi part, but you can still tell that this is different from traditional Japanese music. The full piece shows a distinct influence by Western music; it is metric, melodic and pretty, with harmony and choral structure. Traditional gaikyoku, including jiuta and sokyoku, have parallel lines that sometimes interrelate, but no harmony as such. In traditional music, the different lines may each reach and release tension at their own time, in their own universe. This piece requires the use modem flute tonguing techniques, which do not exist in traditional shakuhachi music.
