"The Ancient Asian Harp Reborn," an Illustrated Lecture and Concert
2007-02-15 18:00 - 20:00 | 301 Philosophy Hall, 116th Street and Amsterdam Avenue, New York, NY, United States
Bo Lawergren (Professor Emeritus, Hunter College) and Tomoko Sugawara (Harpist and Kugo Player)
The angular harp, with an L-shaped body, arose in Mesopotamia around 2000 BCE and, following the Silk Road, reached China and eventually Korea and Japan. Artists in all the cultures it penetrated loved to depict its beautiful shape and their local musicians playing it. Around the year 1000 CE, however, the European harp of irregular triangular shape emerged, and by 1600 the angular harp vanished. Recently, music archeologists have reconstructed the angular harp (called the kugo in Japan and konghou in China). The lecture will include a kugo performance of resurrected ancient tunes from T’ang China and Nara Japan as well as modern pieces composed for the kugo.

The Ono Gagaku Society, which celebrates its 120th anniversary next spring, was founded in 1887 by Ryōdo Ono, chief priest of the Ono Terusaki Shrine in Tokyo. It is the oldest public Japanese gagaku orchestra and dance group in Japan and is one of the very few public troupes of musician-dancers to be trained exclusively by retired masters of the Music Department of the Board of Ceremonies of the Imperial Household Agency (Kunaichō shikibushoku gakubu). The Ono Gagaku Society, currently comprised of ninety members, performs at Shrine ceremonies and public venues throughout Japan. Since 1972, it has performed in the United States and Europe and was awarded the 1980 Grand Prix by the France Records Association for distinguished performance in the category of Non-Western Music. The Ono Gagaku Society maintains a training school for gagaku musicians in Tokyo.
This event is free and open to the public. No reservations are necessary.
This concert is presented by the Institute for Medieval Japanese Studies, Columbia University and sponsored by the International Shinto Foundation (New York) and the International Foundation for Arts and Culture (Tokyo).

Presenting renowned musicians originating from the Reigakusha orchestra
Hitomi Nakamura – hichiriki
Mayumi Miyata – shō
Takeshi Sasamoto – ryūteki
with commentary by Professor Naoko Terauchi
and New York artists
Marie Dalby – viola da gamba
Nancy Kito – harpsichord
The gagaku repertoire preserves musical modes no longer extant in their countries of origin in Central Asia, Tibet, China, and Korea. Its orchestrations have accompanied sacred and secular practices in Japan continually since the 8th century down to the present day. And yet in the words of Henry Cowell, “It is the most avant garde music in the world today. I love it.”
The concert will conclude with a world premiere of Koyomi (Almanac) by Hiroya Miura, featuring Mayumi Miyata (shō), Nancy Kito (harpsichord), and Marie Dalby (viola da gamba).

He attended Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts; Harvard College; the University of Munich; and the University of California at Berkeley, from which he holds a Ph.D. in German cultural history.

From then until 1991, Mr. Rockwell was a classical music critic for the Times (music editor, 1980-1991), and from 1974 to 1980 he also served as chief rock critic. Between 1992 and 1994, he was based in Paris as the Times’s European cultural correspondent, covering all the arts, as well as serving as the paper’s principal reviewer of classical recordings. In the fall of 1994, Mr. Rockwell left the Times to become the first director of the Lincoln Center Festival, an annual international performing arts festival. He rejoined The New York Times as Arts and Leisure editor in early 1998, having already programmed the 1998 edition of the festival.

MAYUMI MIYATA, SHO PERFORMER
Mayumi Miyata, Japan’s foremost contemporary sho soloist, was first introduced to the United States at a 1987 recital presented by Music From Japan, and she has since received international acclaim for her artistry. Her instrument, the sho;, is a mouth organ introduced from China in the Nara period (A.D. 710-784) and is associated with gagaku, Japan’s court music. Ms. Miyata is active in promoting new gagaku pieces by Takemitsu, Ichiyanagi, Ishii, Eloy, Cage, Mefano, Yuasa, Hosokawa, Artaud, Staebler and Giuliano, many of which have been written especially for her.
In 1986, Ms. Miyata was the featured artist in Eloy’s four-hour work, “Anahata” (Creation), commissioned for the Festival d’Automne de Paris, and that same year was introduced in a concert series entitled, “Today’s Performer Series IV” in Japan. She is a member of the Tokyo Gakuso and Reigakusha and since 1979, has been taking part in gagaku performances at the National Theatre in Tokyo. In 1983, she was invited to perform as a soloist in the Japanese Arts Festival in six major European cities and also presented her first solo recital in Tokyo. She has given recitals throughout the world, at events including Darmstadt Summer Course, Frankfurt Festival, Donaueschinger Musiktage and Akiyoshidai International Contemporary Music Seminar & Festival. In addition to her appearance in 1987, Ms. Miyata participated in Music From Japan’s 1995 season as a featured performer in New York, Toronto, and Washington, D.C. and also appeared with Reigakusha in the Lincoln Center Festival in 1996.
Mayumi Miyata was born in Tokyo and began learning gagaku after studying as a piano major at Kunitachi College of Music. While still a student, she started to study the sho under Ono Tadamaro of the Imperial Household Agency. Since her debut as a soloist, she has continued to present the distinctive and scintillating sounds of the sho; to an appreciative and ever-growing audience.

THE MODERATOR & INTERPRETER
Sharon Ann Nakazato, who holds Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees from the University of Michigan, spent eight years studying and working in Japan. She worked for three years as English editor of The East, and has also published articles in both English and Japanese. Her specialties as translator include arts and cultural history, literature and Buddhist studies. She is a licensed teacher of shodo; (Japanese brush calligraphy) and has lectured on many topics in both English and Japanese. She is presently writing and teaching American language and culture to Japanese people and also Japanese language to Americans.

THE COMPOSERS
Toshio Hosokawa, composer, lecturer, and essayist in high repute throughout Europe and Japan, has been credited for creating “a dashing glossary of avant-garde techniques.” He was Composer-in-Residence at the Salzburg Mozarteum and has been a guest composer and lecturer at numerous contemporary music festivals in Europe.
The New York Times recently lauded Karen Tanaka as one of the outstanding young Japanese composers of our time, and also described her work as “dynamic and atmospheric.” A Paris-based composer, she is the recipient of commissions from the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Radio France. She studied composition with Miyoshi Akira in Tokyo, with Tristan Murail in Paris, and with Luciano Berio in Florence.
Lois V Vierk‘s new CD “River Beneath the River” was released by Tzadik Records earlier this year. While she has spent most of her career in New York City, her music has achieved an impressive international reputation. Ms. Vierk was commissioned by the Lincoln Center Festival to compose “Silversword” for the gagaku orchestra, Reigakusha of Tokyo, and by the Barbican Center to compose “River Beneath the River” for the Kronos Quartet. This piece has been performed by the Quartet many times. Music From Japan also commissioned her to compose for percussion and gagaku flute, ryuteki. Among the many other performers and presenters who have commissioned her are Bang On A Can Festival, Ensemble Modern, L’Art Pour L’Art, the Relâche Ensemble, pianists Ursula Oppens, Frederic Rzewski, Aki Takahashi, and Margaret Leng Tan, and accordionist Guy Klucevsek. Ms. Vierk studied gagaku for 10 years in Los Angeles with Mr. Suenobu Togi, formerly of Japan’s Gagaku Imperial Court Orchestra (Kunaicho; gakubu), and in Tokyo for two years with Mr. Sukeyasu Shiba of the same ensemble.
