Voyage X - Nozarashi
for shakuhachi and ensemble
Toshio Hosokawa has continued to add to a series for solo instrument and ensemble (or chamber orchestra) under the title Voyage since 1997. For the latest piece (which has a memorable number), the Shakuhachi has been selected as the solo. The Shakuhachi is one of the best-known Japanese traditional instruments, generally made of bamboo, and historically linked to a sect of Buddhism. Tadashi Tajima, a virtuoso of the Shakuhachi not only technically but spiritually, made a great impression on the composer and he composed this concerto for him.

Description
Since 1997, Toshio Hosokawa has been working on a series of Voyages. Each work has a different solo instrument accompanied by a chamber orchestra or ensemble. The solo instruments of the ten works which make up the cycle are: violin (Voyage I), bassoon (Voyage II), trombone (Voyage III), accordion (Voyage IV), flute (Voyage V), viola (Voyage VI), trumpet (Voyage VII), tuba (Voyage VIII), guitar (Voyage IX) and shakuhachi (Voyage X).
Hosokawa drew his inspiration for the Voyage cycle as follows: The soloist symbolizes a human being that throws a song to the ensemble/orchestra standing for the universe enclosing the human being, and the universe responds the song. The song reaches the universe and the reaction returns to the human being again. Hosokawa called the process of these exchanges Voyage, and thought a sense of unity develops between human beings and the universe through the journey.
