Performance with voice, two koto and shakuhachi. The original piece, not including shakuhachi, is a work of Yoichi Kikuzuka, who composed many pieces in the new style called Meiji-shinkyoku, namely new pieces in the Meiji era (1868-1912). The title, meaning a pine-tree on the rock, originally was the theme of the New Year's Imperial Poetic Competition held in 1904. The poem felicitates the everlastingness of the Emperor's reign comparing it to the evergreen pine-tree. The piece consists of six parts: introduction, fore-song, interlude, middle song, interlude and after-song. The two koto are unisonal in the song parts, but, in the interlude parts they play differently forming a kind of duet. | ||
