ABSTRACT The Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra is a renowned professional wind band founded in 1960 under the aegis of the Buddhist organization Rissho Kosei-kai. Originally named the Tokyo Symphonic Band, the group was renamed in 1973 to reflect its growth in concert activity. As one of the world’s leading professional wind ensembles, its rise to international prominence is a direct result of Western artistry, political influence, and musical direction. This Western thread of influence can be felt in three specific areas: history, religion, and artistry. This dissertation traces the history of the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra from its earliest roots with the introduction of wind instruments to Japan in the sixteenth century, and explores the Rissho Kosei-kai Buddhist organization, its membership and worship practices since the end of World War II. Additionally, the dissertation describes the dual purpose of the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra, performing both as an ensemble in religious services for their Buddhist sect and on the concert stage featuring some of the finest wind and percussion performers in Japan. Finally, a description of Frederick Fennell’s tenure as Music Director and various other guest conductors will substantiate the importance of Westerners in professionalizing the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra through repertoire selection, international concert tours, and recording since the 1980s. This portion of the study includes rehearsal observations, conductor interviews, and subscription concert catalogues of one of the world’s leading professional wind ensembles whose rich history encompasses centuries of band and religious activity. ! ! #"""! CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION I so marvelously remember the first time I stood in front of the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra. It was an unforgettable experience to hear that sound.1 Frederick Fennell As a musician growing up in Hawaii, opportunities for me to attend professional or military band concerts were infrequent. My first experiences of hearing contemporary wind ensemble repertoire came from purchasing new recordings available at the local record store. Because of Hawaii’s Japanese-friendly economy, it was common to see store shelves stocked with as many foreign as American artists’ recordings. Thus began my fascination and admiration of the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra. The Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra was established in 1960 as the Tokyo Symphonic Band, a brass band attached to the lay Buddhist organization Rissho Kosei-kai. It was given its present name in 1973 to reflect its growing professionalism and scale of activities.2 Widely regarded as one of the world’s leading civilian professional wind bands, the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra’s concert activity and recording output rivals several regional and professional symphony orchestras.3 With over three hundred titles on compact discs to its credit, the Tokyo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Frederick Fennell: A Life of Joyful Discovery, DVD (Orange Coast Productions, 2004). 2 The Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra: The 40th Anniversary, “All Data of The Concert,” concert program archive, Volumes 1-66, 2000, 6-7.! 3 David G.

Kosei Wind Orchestra performs throughout Japan, and occasionally tours the United States and Europe. Despite the wind orchestra’s fifty-year history, little is known in the United States about the ensemble outside of its recordings. As a musical entity within Rissho Kosei-kai, the orchestra’s musical commitments vary greatly from major subscription concerts to charity band events at national music clinics such as the Nemu-no-Sato and the Hamamatsu Band Clinic held in Tokyo and Hamamatsu City, respectively.4 Other primary performance duties include educational concert performances and an extensive recording schedule, with repertoire ranging from newly commissioned works for wind orchestra to pop-music band arrangements on the popular Japanese label Sounds in Brass. The Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra has also released several live video performances and was the first ensemble ever to record a DVD of an all winds-and-percussion program.5 The ensemble gained immediate worldwide acclaim under the directorship of Frederick Fennell (1914-2004), who served as Music Director from 1984-1994, and Conductor Laureate until his passing. Having founded the Eastman Wind Ensemble at the University of Rochester in 1952, Fennell is widely considered as one of the most influential band conductors of the later half of the twentieth century.

    [NOTE: This paper was read at IAML 2010 Moscow, but lacks proper citations and bibliography. Fully extended version is scheduled to be published in 2011.] Popular music in Japan: Very different? Not so different? Harumichi YAMADA, Professor, Tokyo Keizai University Tokyo Keizai University, 185-8502, Japan [email protected] Japan has been often referred to as the second largest national market for the popular music business, only after USA. This market has unique aspects in many ways, but the most distinct character is its domestic orientation. While some Asian nations share interests in Japanese popular music for certain degrees, Japanese musicians may hardly be known in the Western world. The language barrier is the largest factor to explain the situation, but it might not be the only reason. Though almost all musical elements in modern Japanese popular music originated in the Western world, they are domesticated or re-organized to produce something quite different from the original Western counterparts. Taking cases from the history of popular music in 20th century Japan, I will describe some typical acclimatizing processes of Western music elements. Introduction of Western music into the schools Japan experienced a rough and rapid process of modernization, or Westernization, in late 19th century, especially after the Meiji Restoration in 1867. The introduction of Western music was one aspect of that modernization. While some elements of Western music like military bands and church hymns arrived a little earlier, their influence was limited. Most ordinary Japanese people were exposed to Western style music through school education, which was under the control of the Ministry of Education.

Despite their close economic relationship since 1965, their conflicting historic and political relationships and deep-seated prejudice against each other have continued. The Korean government’s official ban on the direct import of Japanese cultural products existed until 1997, but various kinds of Japanese cultural products, including popular music, found their way into Korea through various legal and illegal routes and influenced contemporary Korean popular culture. Since 1998, under Korea’s Open- Door Policy, legally available Japanese popular cultural products became widely consumed, especially among young Koreans fascinated by Japan’s quintessentially postmodern popular culture, despite lingering resentments towards Japan.

  • An Analysis of Twentieth-Century Flute Sonatas by Ikuma Dan, Hikaru
    Flute Repertoire from Japan: An Analysis of Twentieth-Century Flute Sonatas by Ikuma Dan, Hikaru Hayashi, and Akira Tamba D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Daniel Ryan Gallagher, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2019 D.M.A. Document Committee: Professor Katherine Borst Jones, Advisor Dr. Arved Ashby Dr. Caroline Hartig Professor Karen Pierson 1 Copyrighted by Daniel Ryan Gallagher 2019 2 Abstract Despite the significant number of compositions by influential Japanese composers, Japanese flute repertoire remains largely unknown outside of Japan. Apart from standard unaccompanied works by Tōru Takemitsu and Kazuo Fukushima, other Japanese flute compositions have yet to establish a permanent place in the standard flute repertoire. The purpose of this document is to broaden awareness of Japanese flute compositions through the discussion, analysis, and evaluation of substantial flute sonatas by three important Japanese composers: Ikuma Dan (1924-2001), Hikaru Hayashi (1931- 2012), and Akira Tamba (b. 1932). A brief history of traditional Japanese flute music, a summary of Western influences in Japan’s musical development, and an overview of major Japanese flute compositions are included to provide historical and musical context for the composers and works in this document. Discussions on each composer’s background, flute works, and compositional style inform the following flute sonata analyses, which reveal the unique musical language and characteristics that qualify each work for inclusion in the standard flute repertoire. These analyses intend to increase awareness and performance of other Japanese flute compositions specifically and lesser- known repertoire generally.

  • Western Influence on Japanese Art Song (Kakyoku) in the Meiji Era Japan
    WESTERN INFLUENCE ON JAPANESE ART SONG (KAKYOKU) IN THE MEIJI ERA JAPAN JOANNE COLE Master of Music Performance (by Research) Faculty of the Victorian College of the Arts and Music The University of Melbourne December 2013 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music Performance (by Research) Produced on Archival Quality Paper Abstract The focus of this dissertation is the investigation of the earliest Western influences on Kōjō no Tsuki (Moon over the Castle) the composition of Japanese composer Rentaro Taki. Kōjō no Tsuki is an example of an early Japanese Art Song known as Kakyoku composed during Meiji Era Japan (1868 - 1912). The dissertation is divided into four chapters with an introduction. Chapter One explores the historical background of the Meiji Era Japan, highlighting the major impact of the signing of the treaty between the United States of America and Japan in 1853. This treaty effectively opened Japan to the West, not only for trade, but for exchange of social, political and cultural ideas. The resulting evolution that occurred in Japan from feudal society to one of early twentieth century is illustrated by reference to articles and writings of the Meiji Era. The second chapter examines the Japanese Art Song form Kakyoku using the example of Rentarō Taki’s song, Kōjō no Tsuki. This chapter presents an argument to illustrate, from an anthropological viewpoint, why this new form of Japanese Art Song could have its own identity based on Western ideas and not be categorised as a Japanese Folk Song known as Minʹyō or Shin Minyō.
