Japan Songs
was originally conceived
as a song cycle for
Voice, Shakuhachi & Piano
Trio. 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. 1.
