Les Mots Disparus – for flute solo (2011)
消えた言葉　–　フルート・ソロのための (2011)

逆説的に見えるかもしれないが、私がヒバリ・プロジェクトのための作品を書くという行為は、私自身の作品－２００６年のフルートソロの曲－を消すことによって始められた。自分が負った精神的苦痛を乗り越えるために、苦痛そのものに立ち向かわなければならなかったのである。

As paradoxical as it may seem, I began my work for the Hibari Project by erasing my own music – my 2006 work for solo flute. To overcome the psychological pain of the March 11 disaster, I had to confront the pain itself.

PROGRAM NOTE

tsu...


参加を決めた頃、父が倒れ、看病の日々と作曲時期が重なりました。...冒頭に「つなみ」の「つ...」と書き、翌日も「つ」と、夜ごと、書き足すのがやっとでしたが、わずかずつ快復する老父は、いつの間にか「続く」の「つ...」と変化させていきました。...

After I decided to participate in the project, my father collapsed. Then I was taking care of my dad and composing at the same time. ...The character "tsu..." was originally from "tsunami". Even though my dad's struggle with illness is a seesaw, he has gotten better, little by little. That transformed "tsu…" into the first letter from "tsuzuku" (continue)....
