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. <br /><br />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."
