This is the original version of “Aqua Rhythm”.The story behind this commission was that Mr. Tsuji who created the pipe organ for the Salamanca Hall wished to preserve a music, created by a composer from Gifu prefecture. He explained all detail structures of the organ and made Hiro listen the sounds of the instruments for many hours. In response to his thoughts, Hiro started creating this music and completed on 1998, however the piece was completely shelved for many years, since Mr. Tsuji past away and staff came and went, then nobody knew even the existence of this music over 13 years. It is not rare for composers, their music are not viewing to audience for many years, for instance, the unfinished symphony by Schubert was first performed almost 37 years after his death and 43years passed from the completion of the composition. 13 years may not be too long to be shelved, however Hiro could not think it was someone else’s problem, since Hiro is the same birthday as Schubert coincidentally. Hiro didn’t want to leave this music just bad luck, so he changed it into Aqua Rhythm for mandolin orchestra and finally it was spited the light. Then plectrum quartet version was released and performed in Tokyo and became popular in many places.
In 2008, Muse-Factory.com was opened and contracted with Universal Music Publishing International in London, Hiro’s music was introduced worldwide, at the same time the original version of Aqua Rhythm with pipe organ was released through the internet. Accidentally It got an attention from Mr. Kawamura from Gifu Chamber Ensemble and finally it had a chance to be performed at Salamanca Hall which originally committed this music. The thoughts of Mr. Tsuji and his staff, also the fate of this music made this miracle happen, then it’s been performed not only in countries from Asia but also from Europe.
