Description
Spirit Garden was named as a metaphor for the sacred ground of the Hida Furukawa International Music Festival’s home. At the same time, the title is intimately connected to the structure of the work. It is based on a twelve-note-row, out of which are made three chords of four notes each. The three chords, accompanied by changes in tone colour, are an ever-present undercurrent vibrating at the fundamental, from which a musical garden is composed. The objects of sound placed ab out the garden are derived from the material of the twelve-note-row, and aim by means of that material at a cosmological (musical) unity. Toru Takemitsu
