Title A name given to the resource On a Poem by Miho Nonaka: Harvard Square Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2013 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Okpebholo, Shawn (b. 1981) Description An account of the resource Black composer Shawn Okpebholo composed "On a Poem by Miho Nonaka: Harvard Square" in 2013 for solo flute. <br /><br />As written on the composer's website: "This composition – inspired by Harvard Square, a poem by the Japanese poet, Miho Nonaka – is a work for solo flute, composed for and premiered by virtuoso flutist, Caen Thomason-Redus. It was not my intention to, necessarily, text paint each word of the poem; rather, I tried to evoke the essence of the poem’s meaning. In one word, Nonaka describes her poem as being about ‘resonance.’ A natural term in the music world, the word ‘resonance’, figuratively speaking, can also mean evoking images, memories and emotions, which she beautifully achieves in Harvard Square. This composition is for the virtuoso flutist, utilizing various extended flute techniques. for example, the composition begins with the flute playing bamboo tones, a way for the modern western flute to, by using nontraditional fingerings (which I notated in the score), sound like a shakuhachi flute, a Japanese bamboo flute."
