ca. 8min

Program Note

  This work portrays the beauty and the harsh reality of the spring on the summit of Mt. Fuji. Spring (March to May in Japan) is, generally, a time of a year where new life is born. However, on Mt. Fuji, it is a time where harsh wind roars and avalanches blast. Beauty lies back to back with destruction. This piece contains repeated melodic motif, which in time will face a violent disruption.

  Shiki to Unkai IV was premiered by Lea Ivanovic (D.B) and Maiko Hosoda (mar.) in Pioneer Works, New York City, NY. Its premier was broadcasted live on Wave Farm Radio 90.7FM.
