This is an album of compositions by the contemporary musician Minoru Miki , released in 1975. Formed in 1964 under Miki's supervision, the Emsemble Nipponia has continued to explore new possibilities for traditional Japanese music, both in Japan and abroad, in order to sublimate the classics into the modern age. The A-side "Paraphrase on Ancient Dances" was composed and recorded for NHK in 1966, and is also an ensemble of shakuhachi, koto and kagura instruments. This is a wonderful album of cutting-edge performances that sublimates the rhythms and melodies of traditional music, while at the same time presenting them in a completely modern musical form.
