solosessions | Megumi Kasakawa, Viola | Yu Kuwabara ›The Six Hours II‹ für Viola solo (2023) The composer Yu Kawabara describes the piece as follows: " ›The Six Hours‹ cycle was created to establish a ritual time and space. They are also a musical variation of Shomyo, a Japanese Buddhist chant. In the Jodo sect of Buddhism and the Shuni-e ceremony at Todai-ji temple, the Buddhist memorial service is dedicated in a form that is divided into six time periods during the day. This is called the observance of the Six Hours (Rokuji no gyōbō). The Six Hours consists of Nicchu (Noon Watch), Nichimotsu (Sunset Watch), Shoya (First Evening Watch), Han'ya (Mid-evening Watch), Goya (Latter Evening Watch), and Jinjyo (Dawn Watch). The idea behind the three solo pieces is to condense the form of this one-day memorial service into approximately 30 minutes. The Six Hours Ⅰ for bassoon represents the first two periods (Nicchu and Nichimotsu), The Six Hours Ⅱ for viola represents the second two periods (Shoya and Han'ya), and The Six Hours Ⅲ for tenor saxophone represents the third two periods (Goya and Jinjyo).” Our violist Megumi Kasakawa commenting as follows: "I could understand Yu's music as if I were reading it in my mother tongue. It is a great respect to her exploration of Japanese culture and her ability to transform and convey this material into contemporary music. Thank you Yu-san!” Kompositionsauftrag von ACHT BRÜCKEN | Musik für Köln #contemporarymusic #neuemusik #ensemblemodern #viola #megumikasakawa #yukawabara #contemporaryclassicalmusic
