【八代亜紀・舟唄に学ぶ〜装い新たに】『山茶花（さざんか）』

　大昔、太鼓と共に歌ったことのある詩を再現。

　尺八、アコギ、ストリングスで演出。編集には、八代亜紀の「舟唄」を何度も聞いて学ぶ。

編曲の力は絶大。まさに生殺与奪、その詩、曲を生かすも殺すもアレンジ次第と痛感させられた。

　I recreated a poem I once performed long ago, singing it alongside taiko drums. This time I arranged it with shakuhachi, acoustic guitar, and strings. While editing, I studied by listening to Yashiro Aki’s “Funauta” over and over. (Yashiro Aki is the late Japanese Singer.)The power of arrangement is immense—truly a matter of life and death. It made me realize, painfully, that whether a poem or song is brought to life or ruined depends on the arrangement.
