SORRY I haven't been more active lately. I have been very busy. I am not giving up on this channel and hope to upload more music soon.
Thank you for all the support!
It is "Kokuu Reibo," which is sometimes translated "A Bell Ringing in the Empty Sky," so it is the "title track" of the record. I bet Sokaku Reibo, sometimes translated "Nesting Cranes," is on the B side of the album. Thank you for putting it up.
Bruce Huebner Okay, thank you for letting me know! I really appreciate it and will fix it soon.
You're absolutely correct. I had this album when I was in high school back in 1970.
Cosmos: A Personal Voyager brought me here.
I love this piece. I have the old vinyl record with "A Bell Ringing in the Empty Sky" also on it - another beautiful track! Thanks for sharing.
Used this recording for several years when I taught a course on the spirituality of music.
Absolutely love to start my morning meditation wth this piece. Thank you
Found a cassette from the early 70s of this album. The title track (which is side B) is indeed "A Bell Ringing in the Empty Sky", "Koku-Reibo". The flip side of cassette is "Sokaku-Reibo" (Depicting the Cranes in their Nest). I believe it was recorded in 1967-68 while
he was teaching at Wesleyan University, Connecticut. If interested in this style, another master to listen to is Masayuki Koga who will be performing at Napa Design Center, Napa, CA in July.
Thank you for your comment. It is very informative! I appreciate it
Sorry, this track is not the piece titled "Sokaku Reibo."
Bruce Huebner No? I suppose that it is entirely possible that my sources were incorrect. Would you happen to know the correct name then?
This confusion arises because the majority of Kinko-Ryu pieces have more or less the same melodic structure, Especially if all played on the same size flute. I read somewhere that during Kinko recitals even members of the school would'nt know what was being played due to this.
This confusion arises because the majority of Kinko-Ryu pieces sound exactly the same and follow the same melodic structure. I read somewhere that during Kinko Recitals even the other performers would not know which piece is being played due to their almost identical nature.
