  • Tōru Takemitsu᾽S "Spherical Mirror:" the Influences of Shūzō Takiguchi and Fumio Hayasaka on His Early Music in Postwar Japan
    Athens Journal of Humanities and Arts X Y Tōru Takemitsu᾽s "Spherical Mirror:" The Influences of Shūzō Takiguchi and Fumio Hayasaka on his Early Music in Postwar Japan Tomoko Deguchi The music of Japanese composer Tōru Takemitsu (1930-1996) eludes understanding by traditional musical analytical approaches. In his earlier works, the musical language Takemitsu employed is influenced by Debussy, Webern, and particularly Messiaen; however, his music defies successful analyses by Western analytical methods, mainly to find an organizational force that unifies the composition as a whole. In this essay, I illuminate how his music was made to be "Japanese- sounding," even though Takemitsu clearly resisted association with, and was averse to, Japanese traditional culture and quality when he was younger. I do this by examining Takemitsu᾽s friendship with two individuals whom he met during his early age, who influenced Takemitsu at an internal level and helped form his most basic inner voice. The close friendship Takemitsu developed as a young composer with Shūzō Takiguchi (1903-1979), an avant-garde surrealist poet and also a mentor to many forward-looking artists, and Fumio Hayasaka (1914-1955), a fellow composer best known for his score to Akira Kurosawa᾽s film Rashōmon, is little known outside Japan. In this essay, I discuss the following issues: 1) how Takiguchi᾽s experimental ideas might have manifested themselves in Takemitsu᾽s early compositions; and 2) how Hayasaka᾽s mentorship, friendship, and ideals of the nature of Japanese concert music might have influenced Takemitsu᾽s early pieces. I analyze some earlier compositions by Takemitsu to discuss the influences on his music by his two mentors, whose attitudes seemingly had come from opposite spectrums.

  • 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.

  • ASIAN WORKS for HARPSICHORD and ORGAN Calvert Johnson, Compiler, 2010
    EAST ASIAN WORKS FOR HARPSICHORD AND ORGAN Calvert Johnson, compiler, 2010 Prepared for the Royal College of Canadian Organists, Victoria, BC, July 2010 (notes: last name is capitalized; women composers indicated by *) CHINA Since the 19th century, Chinese composers have been attracted to Western musical idioms, often with an interest in combining Chinese stylistic elements and melodies with Western forms and procedures. There is a precedent for counterpoint and harmony in Chinese music, particularly Peking opera, in which various instruments do more than perform heterophonic versions of the same melody. Many Chinese composers are thoroughly grounded in Western music, and often have digested the ethnomusicological studies of their own musical traditions. After 1949 the Communist government encouraged both the study of traditional, classical and folk musics of China as well as Western music (often with imported Russian teachers). The Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) suppressed Western music and musical instruments, but after the arrest of the Gang of Four, composers have returned to Western music, and fusion music that combines Western and Chinese instruments and genres has become a significant part of Chinese contemporary musical activity.
