I
have composed Knots
[Musubi] in celebration
of the 80th birthday of
Heinz Holliger for whom I
have the greatest
respect. The title was
inspired by the Yin and
Yang principle, the
central concept of the
creation of the universe
in the East. Polar
opposite elements such as
man and woman, high and
low, light and shadow
coexist and complement
each other, becoming
intertwined without
eradicating each other,
whilst gradually shaping
the harmony of the
universe. In this music,
the oboe and the English
horn, both of which have
adistinctive
characteristic tone,
become entwined and
gradually knotted
together through
arabesque-like
appoggiaturas. Toshio
Hosokawa.
