Dai Fujikura (b. 1977) — Mina’s Song (2013) for organ
Carson Cooman, organ
Published by the composer (daifujikura.com/un/shop.html)
The composer writes: “This piece is based on a theme which my then 2 year old daughter played on her toy piano.”
Dai Fujikura (b. 1977) was born in Osaka, Japan and has resided in England since he was 15. He was educated at Dover College, Trinity College of Music, the Royal College of Music, and King’s College, London, and his teachers included Edwin Roxburgh and George Benjamin. He was also mentored by Pierre Boulez and Peter Eötvos who both championed his music extensively. Fujikura’s music has been widely-acclaimed and is highly sought-after by performers and ensembles around the world. His large and diverse catalog includes several operas, numerous concerti and other orchestral works, and many chamber, vocal/choral, and solo instrumental works. Fujikura’s personal style was described by the writer Paul Griffiths as “neither British nor Japanese…the chief characteristics of his music include frank expressive immediacy, whether voiced by texture (often interacting textures) or by melody, as well as a sure handling of instruments, alone or in combination, and wide-ranging references, especially to nature and science.” (daifujikura.com)
