Description
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."
