	Voices from Afar - Voices From Within	Shakuhachi : Christopher Yohmei Blasdel
The Japanese scale known as the "ritsu" scale is close in nature to the Dorian mode, both of which are easily played on the shakuhachi. This piece contains much rubato; peaks and valleys of sound-intensity and rhythms. I had in mind a fanciful folk dance, performed with brilliantly colored costumes, beginning slowly and working into a steady rhythm. The middle section contains an improvisation in the Dorian mode between the shakuhachi and twenty-string koto.
