History (James Nyoraku 如楽 Schlefer):
| Solstice Spirit is one of only a handful of pieces specifically composed for shakuhachi orchestra - in this case, 18 shakuhachis of differing lengths. The work is made up of ten short sections in widely varying styles, contrasting microtonal tone clusters with lyrical sections played by a featured shakuhachi quartet. Solstice Spirit was first performed at St. Mark's Church in New York City, where each year hundreds of people gather to hear shakuhachi music played at the precise moment of the winter solstice. For this recording Schlefer performs all the music himself by multi-tracking the separate parts in the studio. |
