発祥 (柘植元一):

Composed in 1927, this piece shows the direct influence of Western music.

The first part of this two-part composition is a koto duct descriptively named Shuu ('A Shower'). The second part, called Higurashi ('A Clear-toned Cicada') includes a vocal section based on a poem by the composer.

詩 (【翻訳者】柘植元一)

The rain has stopped.
Drenched twigs
Glitter wetly,
Scattered dew drops
Stir quietly.
In the haze
Of sunset
Kana kana...
The sad shrill cry
Of the tiny cicada.
