Dance for the One in Six Shakuhachi : John Kaizan Neptune
The Japanese title, Horaku, literally means "entertainment for the gods"-sacred entertainment. I thought "Dance for the [Universal] One" would be a nice translation, and the title became Dance for the ONE in Six, since the piece is in 6/4 meter. This is an interesting meter to work with because it can be divided so many ways.
