Tōru Takemitsu And His Significant Hyper-Cultural Musical Influence

11/25/2021

0 Comments

 
Tōru Takemitsu is a Japanese writer and composer known to incorporate music theory and serial aesthetic techniques in impressive forms. 

He was essentially a self-taught composer, first served in the US military but music had opened doors leading to greatness and influence. 

He started with the experimental workshop he called “Jikken Kōbō,” which avoids traditional Japanese music. But with the influence of John Cage, he started focusing on orchestral and chamber music mixing western notation system and traditional Japanese instruments like the biwa and shakuhachi producing hyper-cultural musical scores that impressed the world. 

His music is a two contrasting context yet beautifully blended, as others quote it as an ethereal sense of space and detachment, innovative and unforgettable. 

Because of his staggering orchestral and instrumental artistry, he was a recipient of multiple awards and had been highly acclaimed even in our generation today.

Enrique Granados achieved great popularity for his significant contribution not only in Spain but also to the Basque musical culture worldwide.
 
He was best remembered for his progressive transformation, from his private lessons from the renowned Charles-Wilfrid de Bériot, who gave a massive influence to his technical skills and musical improvisations to his big win as the best "concert allegro" at the Madrid Royal Conservatory paving the way to his national exposure.
 
His evocative works including his greatest piece entitled “Goyescas" based on the paintings of Francisco Goya are highly regarded and his success expanded to Europe and even in America. He was invited to perform in the White House under President Woodrow Wilson's administration.
 
Unfortunately, he and her wife died of a tragic accident while they were boarded on a ferry heading for Dieppe, France. Despite his untimely death, his undeniable passion and dedication to music and his grandiose works helped in the musical transformation of Spain.
