History:
| Duo No. 2 for Shakuhachi and Shamisen was written to bring a fresh sound to traditional instruments. Structurally the piece falls into a fast-slow-fast pattern with the fast sections being very similar. Many times one of the instruments falls into a kind of vamp pattern so the other can solo. The lyricism of the slow section contrasts the rhythmic and energetic nature of the faster sections. Duo No. 2 is available at Youtube/nyoraku. |
