Japan Songs was originally conceived as a song cycle. In 2019, Kyo-Shin-An Arts asked six beloved composers to each write one song. All six said yes, the premiere was scheduled, and the journey began. When the first rehearsal at long last arrived, in November 2020, we realized we had not commissioned a song cycle but rather a collection of independent gems. Each song captures the personality and style of its creator as well as the deep emotional impact of the pandemic during which it was written. Soprano, Shakuhachi, Violin, Violoncello & Piano Duration: 6’ Composed: 2022 Published by: Subito Music Publishing.
