| Notes | And Still is a song for soprano, two kotos, and bass koto. It’s in three sections. The first and third are in 6/4 with a C# drone and 13th chord arpeggios in eighth notes. The middle section compresses the eighth note arpeggios to triplets in 4/4, and the drone raises to D. The vocals appear only in the middle section. Ryuko Mizutani commissioned And Still for her trio, and premiered it at The Buttonwood Tree in Middletown, Connecticut, February 19, 2001. [Jason Cady] |
