"Fierce Exchange and Accord III" (tracks 1 and 2)
This time I used graphic scores to create a situation in which two instruments alternate between collision of fierce sound and accord of quiet sound. Two scores with respective grids of 11 x 11 squares and 13 x 13 squares are played on the basis of detailed discussion. The harmonium is the "mediator."

"Study in Fifths I"I (track 3)
First, the background electronic sounds are all decided on the basis of prime numbers and pi. The total performance time is 3,559 seconds. The pitch is set at A=442. Five-note intervals (fifths) are taken above and below, and these are replaced by prime numbers of approximate value to form the basic pattern. Next, pi is divided into two-digit segments. The remainders of these segments divided by 11 are used as a substitute sequence, and the ways in which this shifts the basic pattern (pitch changes, duration of sustained sound, duration of rests) are determined. For the natural horn and viola da gamba, 47 or 23 measures containing brief sound patterns (with intervals based on the above mentioned fifths) are performed independently and read in the form of a whirlpool. The four-page score is performed in the order [A-B-C-D-C-B-A]. The whirlpool configuration differs in the first and second parts.

「丁々発止と融和 III」(1曲目と2曲目)
2つの楽器の激しい音のぶつかり合いと、静かな音の融和が、交互に繰り広げられる様をつくるため、今回は図形による記譜を採用しました。11x11のマスと、13x13のマスの2つの楽譜を、綿密な打ち合わせの基に演奏します。ハルモニウムはいわば「調停役」です。

「五度音程による習作 II」(3曲目)
まず背景の電子音ですが、すべてを素数、また円周率で決定しています。全体の演奏時間は3559秒です。ピッチはA=442としてそれぞれ上下に五度音程を取って行き、それを近似値の素数に置き換えたものを基本形とします。  次に円周率を2桁ごとに切って、それを11で割った余りに置き換えた数列を使い、基本形をどう動かすか (ピッチの変化、持続時間、休止時間) を決めます。ナチュラル・ホルンとヴィオラ・ダ・ガンバは、簡潔な音形 (音程は上記の五度音程に準拠します) が書かれた47マス、または23マスを、渦を巻くように読みながらそれぞれ独立して演奏します。楽譜は4枚あり、A-B-C-D-C-B-Aの順番で演奏します。渦の巻き方を前半と後半で変えます。
