	Voices from Afar - Voices From Within	Shakuhachi : Christopher Yohmei Blasdel
There are probably no two instruments more disparate than the piano and shakuhachi. The piano, a product of European rational scientific thought and the industrial revolution, is highly refined and mechanically perfected; the representative instrument of the Western civilization. The shakuhachi is... well, you read the foreword. Both players must respect and compliment the characteristics of each instrument. In relating to the piano, the shakuhachi should never try to imitate a western flute; the shakuhachi's intense, concentrated tonal power is sufficient to hold its own in this duet. Michael Reimann, a pianist/composer from West Germany, composed this piece on commission after having studied the shakuhachi in Japan in 1988. "The Tears of Heaven" was premiered at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland in October, 1989.
