Description
I have composed an elegy for solo violin, for the funeral of my close friend’s wife who died at a young age from cancer. This violin concerto, Hika, is based on this elegy, and it has been re-composed for violin and string orchestra. The solo violin is a person who sings a song of sadness, and the string orchestra represents nature and the cosmos surrounding that person. The violin converses and argues with the cosmos, but ultimately melts into its resonance. Through singing about sadness, people find salvation. Toshio Hosokawa
