GOING TO TOWN 1985 This tune is the musical story of a person traveling from the country to a town for the first time. It starts with a prayer for a safe journey: free-rhythm solo shakuhachi using the country folk scale (yosempo). Traveling along at a nice walking tempo, the tune continues using the folk scale. When contact is made with the city it has a tremendous, percussive impact on the traveler. This is followed by a slow, somewhat somber melody using the city scale (insempo). Later, after appreciating the rich variety of things happening, the country person is now able to enjoy the fast pace and international flavor: a faster tempo and other tones besides the Japanese scales are used.
