I've been trying to locate and purchase the notation for "Kikyo Genso Kyoku". This is a modern piece that i really connected with when i first heard, and would love to play.

I've been unsuccesfull so far and would appreciate any help or suggestions. Ideally Tozan as most in the group i play with read Tozan. I'm "bi lingual" so Kinko would do also.

Thank You,

Ken

Kikyo Genso Kyoku is a piece by Fukuda Rando. The music is available from Meijiro. It is in Kinko notation
and is contained in a collection of music by this composer.

Here is the link to Meijiro: http://www.mejiro-japan.com

Michael,

I noticed the Rando collection in my earlier searches. But i was not able to confirm that "Kikyo Genso Kyoku" was in the collection. There are 17 pieces but they only have 7 pieces listed. The piece "Yugure Gensokyoku" is not the piece i'm looking for. I sent them an e-mail and haven't heard back yet. If you or anyone can confirm that "Kikyo Genso Kyoku" is in the collection that would be great.

Thank You

Ken

Hi again,

I have the collection at home. I'll check when I get off work tonight and get back to you
(if someone hasn't done so before I get the chance). I believe it is in the collection since
I seem to recall the name (meaning I've probably played it).

BTW the collection used to come in bound softcover book form. It now comes as a folio of
individual pieces, each nicely covered. [I have both versions - the book was getting pretty
beat up, I bought it at the WSF in Boulder CO in 1998]

Hi yet again,

I just listened to the sample that lives out on http://www.komuso.com (I think its performed by
Ishikawa Toshimitsu). The piece's name translates to "Bellflower Fantasy" or "Dream of the
Bellflower" or something like that. It is indeed in the collection I mentioned. There are recorded
versions of it on Yokoyama's recording of Fukudo Rondo's pieces and on a CD by Furuya Teruo
to name two really good ones.

It really is a pretty piece.

I have a notation pack that has thirteen pieces and Kikyo is part of it, so I guess you can assume that the Mejiro book includes it as well.

Michael A. Firman · 2007-01-22 23:33:32

Actually Meijiro sells the packet not the book (any longer). Regardless, the peice is in the collection.

Michael,

Thank's so much for checking that out. Off to the Mejiro Site!
