| Notes | Each movement of Eunjoo Oh’s Nori is based on a different rhythmic pattern: I. 5 / 5/ 6 / 5/ 5 / 10; II. the 10 beat pattern ending the first movement continues in a slower tempo; III. faster tempo in 4/4. The three movements are played without pause. Throughout the piece, one might hear the animation and light-hearted-ness implied by the word Nori (“being playhul”) in the title. The piece was written for Shoko Hikage in 2012. [Eunjoo oh] |
