Music of Joji Yuasa

Luciana Galliano

4.9/5 (17845 ratings)

Description:Over the last fifty years, the music of Joji Yuasa has attained the zenith of international musical standards: a study of this great Japanese composer is long overdue. Persuasive and captivating, less easy than that of his lifetime friend Toru Takemitsu, Yuasa s music has also been a model for many young composers, both from Japan and further afield, thanks to the long period he spent teaching composition at the University of California, San Diego (1981-1994). This book serves to illuminate aspects of Yuasa s work intricately linked to deep, native roots which tend to be more opaque for western ( and other) ears. It focusses on various aspects of Yuasa s music as well as on the social, anthropological, aesthetic and critical contexts that have informed his compositional practice in the context of the postwar Japanese musical world. In a continual interior dialogue which includes Jean-Paul Sartre and Daisetzu T. Suzuki, Matsuo Basho and William Faulkner, Henry Miller and Motokiyo Zeami, Yuasa s avant-garde aesthetic project, western in conception, encounters the productive thought of an unambiguously Japanese aesthetic, i.e. that of Zen. An analysis of Yuasa s main works will illustrate and complete the picture of Yuasa s world. Yuasa s works are placed at the centre of the most original of creative forces in the contemporary music world a place where, for Yuasa, in the same idea of creativity, there has to be an avant-garde component ."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
