“I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to collaborate with the Hibiki Project! This collaboration definitely sent me down the rabbit hole of listening to so many beautiful pieces of flute music written by Japanese composers. Myself and Jayne eventually chose to perform the piece “Earth” by Takatsugu Muramatsu. I think this piece is so fitting given that we are slowly starting to see the return of spring this month. The main theme of the piece is very evocative and the way it develops in it’s repetition throughout the piece makes me picture the hints of growth that occur at the end of winter, eventually blossoming to life. This piece, “Earth”, definitely ties into the Hibiki Project’s meaning of ‘resonance’ with the message that we are all connected to something deeper.”
