“East greets East” — which features works such as Toshiro Mayuzumi’s Mandala Symphony, Toru Takemitsu’s Textures, Akira Miyoshi’s Concerto for Orchestra, Shomyo (Buddhist liturgical chant)*, Improvisation on the Theme of Rokudan, and Somei Satoh’s Cosmical Uterus — centers on the fusion of traditional Eastern (particularly Japanese and Buddhist) musical elements with modern Western orchestral and compositional techniques.
