Programme Note
Water Spirit Song has been extracted from Koto Dreaming, a piece of music theatre featuring the Butoh Dancer Yumi Umiumare which I composed especially for the 2003 Asian Music and Dance Festival in Sydney. The dance was accompanied by an ensemble consisting of Japanese and European instruments: koto (Satsuki Odamura), shakuhachi (Riley Lee), cor anglais (Alexandre Oguey) and cello (John Napier). Water Spirit Song, played by the cello and accompanied by the sound of a waterfall, introduces the work.
