Music with Sculpture (1961)
Eastman Wind Ensemble
Donald Hunsberger
Music with Sculpture is one of five works by Mayuzumi commissioned by the American Wind Symphony. The score requires a large wind ensemble, with special emphasis on the exploration of individual woodwind tone colors. This composition, alternately delicate in nature and overwhelming in its power, is a series of tonal sculptings highly sectional in content. Each short period establishes a basic texture and presents this quality in a manner which offers contrasts between the woodwinds and brasses. Tonal in harmonic content, the work makes use of tone clusters within individual family sections offset by clearly stated individual solo tone qualities. Carefully woven as a fine tapestry, Music with Sculpture is distinctive through its very definite tone colorations in its primarily restive nature. [Deutsche Grammophon – 2530 063]
