The original piece had a long wait to be performed \u2013 more than 13 years from the completion of the composition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Hiroshi Tsuji who succeeded in restoring the\u00a0world oldest pipe organ called &#8220;<em>angels<\/em>&#8216;\u00a0<em>voices <\/em>at\u00a0 Salamanca Hall in Spain also built the pipe organ for Salamanca Hall in Japan, wished to engage music created by a composer from Gifu prefecture. \u00a0He explained the detailed structure of the organ, and had Hiro listen to the sounds of the instrument for many hours. In response to his thoughts, Hiro started creating this music and completed it in 1998. However, the piece was completely shelved for many years since Mr. Tsuji passed away and staff came and went. Nobody even knew of the existence of this music for over 13 years. \u00a0It is not rare for composers\u2019 music to go unheard for many years. For instance, the unfinished symphony by Schubert was first performed almost 37 years after his death and 43 years from its completion. By comparison, 13 years may not be such a long time to be shelved; however, Hiro was troubled by the parallel since he coincidentally has the same birthday as Schubert. Hiro didn\u2019t want to let this music sit unplayed, so he rearranged it as \u201cAqua Rhythm for mandolin orchestra,\u201d finally bringing it into the light. \u00a0Then, the plectrum quartet version was released and performed in Tokyo and became popular in many places. In 2008, Muse-Factory.com was opened and contracted with Universal Music Publishing International in London and Hiro\u2019s music was introduced worldwide. At the same time, the original version of \u201cAqua Rhythm\u201d with pipe organ was released through the internet. By chance it got the attention of Mr. Kawamura from Gifu Chamber Ensemble and it finally had a chance to be performed at Salamanca Hall, where it was originally commissioned. The vision of Mr. Tsuji and his staff, as well as an element of fate allowed this miracle to happen. Since then it has been performed not only Asian countries but also in Europe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brochure-of-the-first-performance\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #8c0404;\">Brochure of the first performance<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-61357\" src=\"https:\/\/muse-factory.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Aqua-image-1-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/muse-factory.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Aqua-image-1-scaled.jpeg 1811w, https:\/\/muse-factory.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Aqua-image-1-212x300.jpeg 212w, https:\/\/muse-factory.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Aqua-image-1-724x1024.jpeg 724w, https:\/\/muse-factory.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Aqua-image-1-768x1086.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/muse-factory.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Aqua-image-1-1087x1536.jpeg 1087w, https:\/\/muse-factory.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Aqua-image-1-1449x2048.jpeg 1449w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-61356\" src=\"https:\/\/muse-factory.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Aqua-Program-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"292\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/muse-factory.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Aqua-Program-scaled.jpeg 1765w, https:\/\/muse-factory.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Aqua-Program-207x300.jpeg 207w, https:\/\/muse-factory.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Aqua-Program-706x1024.jpeg 706w, https:\/\/muse-factory.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Aqua-Program-768x1114.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/muse-factory.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Aqua-Program-1059x1536.jpeg 1059w, https:\/\/muse-factory.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Aqua-Program-1412x2048.jpeg 1412w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 292px) 100vw, 292px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Januar 16, 2011<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">the 35th Gifu Chamber Ensemble Annual Concert\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Salamanca Hall <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Conductor: Toshiki Mizuyama<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Pipe Organ: Miyuki Ohashi\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Work-Description\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #870303;\">Work Description<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This music is inspired by various water sounds, such as spring water, a mountain stream, murmuring, a waterfall, a river, and so on. These sounds always create different rhythms that amuse people. There are many expressions about water in Japan, and Hiro likes the saying, \u201cThe flowing river never stops\u00a0and yet the water never stays the same.\u201d The sounds of water remind us of the greatness of the nature as well as our own existence. This music is based on his contemplation on various forms of water. The music consists of two movements. The first movement is an allegro in quintuple meter, and the second is an adagio. Hiro hopes that just as the\u00a0blessings of water continue to enrich our life for years to come, in the same way this music will be played by many people around the world, since it had not seen the light of day for many years.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Variations-of-Aqua-Rhythm\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #8c0303;\">Variations of Aqua Rhythm<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border-color: #000000; height: 366px;\" border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 42px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 73.1197%; border-color: #000000; height: 42px;\">Aqua Rhythm\u2013 <strong><span style=\"color: #996606;\">Pipe Organ<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0(304)<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 26.8803%; border-color: #000000; height: 42px;\">Please contact us, if you want to purchase this sheet music.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 42px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 73.1197%; border-color: #000000; height: 42px;\">Aqua Rhythm\u2013 <strong><span style=\"color: #996606;\">Orchestra<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0(303)<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 26.8803%; border-color: #000000; height: 42px;\">Please contact us, if you want to purchase this sheet music.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 42px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 73.1197%; border-color: #000000; height: 42px;\">Aqua Rhythm\u2013 <strong><span style=\"color: #996606;\">Quartet<\/span><\/strong>(305)<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 26.8803%; border-color: #000000; height: 42px;\">Please contact us, if you want to purchase this sheet music.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 42px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 73.1197%; border-color: #000000; height: 42px;\">Aqua Rhythm\u30fc<strong><span style=\"color: #996606;\">Marimba\uff14Quartet<\/span><\/strong>(573)<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 26.8803%; border-color: #000000; height: 42px;\">Please contact us, if you want to purchase this sheet music.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 99px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 73.1197%; border-color: #000000; height: 99px;\">Aqua Rhythm\u30fc<strong><span style=\"color: #996606;\">Mandolin Orchestra<\/span><\/strong>(077)<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-youtube su-u-responsive-media-yes\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X2MVu4pHMZ4?\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture\" title=\"Aqua Rhythm \"><\/iframe><\/div><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 26.8803%; border-color: #000000; height: 99px;\">Please contact us, if you want to purchase this sheet music.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 99px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 73.1197%; border-color: #000000; height: 99px;\">Aqua Rhythm\u30fc<span style=\"color: #996606;\"><strong>Mandolin Quartet<\/strong><\/span>(078)<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-youtube su-u-responsive-media-yes\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qjXX2eHvRJY?\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture\" title=\"Aqua Rhythm \"><\/iframe><\/div><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 26.8803%; border-color: #000000; height: 99px;\">Please contact us, if you want to purchase this sheet music.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Aqua Rhythm&#8221; awakes from long sleep, a music for pipe organ with string ensemble Article about Aqua Rhythm Hiroyuki Fujikake \u201cAqua Rhythms\u201d Composed in 1998, first performed in 2011 The music was for string orchestra with pipe organ (304), commissioned by Salamanca Hall in Japan, which possesses a beautiful pipe organ.
