Title A name given to the resource Samarasa Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2014 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Fujikura, Dai (b. 1977) Description An account of the resource Japanese composer Dai Fujikura's "Samarasa" was composed in 2010 with a new version in 2014. As written on his website, Fujikura states: "'Samarasa' is a rough translation for 'mind at rest' in Sanskrit. I composed this piece for the violinist Hae-Sun Kang who is with Ensemble InterContemporain, commissioned by the Messiaen Festival which takes place in the French Alps. As I set to work on this piece, my focus fell on the right arm of the performer and the movement and speed of the bow. Whereas contemporary music tends to focus on the pitches (which would be the performer’s “left hand”, and its fingering) - and quite understandably so - I was more fascinated with the right arm, as was the case with my viola piece “flux”. The first part begins with the same note being played alternately on three strings, where the violinist’s bow maintains its normal movement while the “left hand” shifts geographically on violin’s fingerboard. This unconventional method produces an irregular kind of melody. During the compositional process I tried drawing the neck of a violin on a piece of paper and placing my fingers along it. The constant cross-string technique employed in the piece is another “unnatural” characteristic unique to string instruments."

Title A name given to the resource PoyoPoyo Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2012 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Fujikura, Dai (b. 1977) Description An account of the resource Japanese composer Dai Fujikura wrote "Poyopoyo" on commission from Nobuaki Fukukawa, to whom the composition is also dedicated. This one movement work was premiered in Nagoya, October 2012. A highly challenging work for unaccompanied horn. On his website, Fujikura writes: "In Japanese the word poyopoyo describes something soft and squidgy, with a velvety texture - like the cheek of a four month old baby, which is how old my daughter was when I wrote this work. I experimented many things with the horn player Nobuaki Fukukawa whom the work was written for. I wanted to find a sound which is the antithesis of the stereotypical horn sound. To me the horn often sounds big and macho, and plays fanfare like music. I looked for sensitive, quiet, soft, and poetic sounds to symbolise poyopoyo. I experimented with the player over online video conferencing to get this effect. We settled on using a bass trombone harmon mute or a specially made harmon mute for horn. The player can open or close the mute with his hand to make the wah-wah effect, and throughout this piece the speed of this wah-wah effect varies to represent poyopoyo."

Notes on the publisher's website state: "Melia Watras, a foremost performing violist and professor of viola, has commissioned a good number of composers for new works for her instrument. In her commission of Ran, she requested that a starting point be an excerpt from any established work in the viola's repertoire of Ran's choosing. Ran immediately turned to the haunting viola solo passage from Luciano Berio's Black Is the Color (from Folksongs). While the Berio is infused throughout Ran's Perfect Storm, she has crafted a sonic landscape of varied mood, using an array of the violist's skills and techniques in an impressive concert work. See a video excerpt on YouTube from the world premiere, which includes a discussion of the work by Ran and Watras."

The description for the work provided on the composer's website states: "The traditional Chaconne, usually found in Baroque dance suites, can be identified by its anacruses and harmonic ostinati on the lower register. This principle, with some modifications, is taken to the Cello with its infinite resources. Unstable pickups, register changes, contrasting dynamics, and vigorous caribbean rhythms are juxtaposed with the “Canto a San Antonio”, one of the principal ceremonial songs in the dominican popular religious tradition.
