Description
The solo violoncello part of my concerto Chant is influenced by the way of singing Shōmyō, the ceremonial music of Japanese Buddhism. The characteristic singing of Shōmyō practised since 1200 years ago in Japan shaped the gentle curving line like the stroke of an oriental calligraphy brush. I encountered Shōmyō in 1986 when I composed Seeds of Contemplation for Shōmyō and gagaku ensemble and since then it has had various musical influences on me. It has effects not only on forms of ’song’ in my lieder, choruses and operas, but also on the way to create melody in my instrumental works. Toshio Hosokawa
