Andy has traveled to the Land of the Rising Sun to present us with his latest masterpiece, “Koto”.  Simulated Koto drumming is at the heart of this show and is incorporated in each movement.  “Sakura” means “cherry blossom.” The opening mallet parts portray cherry blossom trees lightly moving in the breeze with some leaves drifting to the ground.  This is contrasted by the rising theme of the folk song’s melody which represents the Rising Sun.  “Matsuri” is a festival or celebration.  “Myaku” signifies a pulse or heartbeat.  The Koto drums take on a singular importance in this movement as they are the underlying pulse that drives the rest of the music.  The final movement, “Koto”, is rhythmic and driving.  Andy takes all the energy accumulated throughout the show and releases it during the drum solo, which is followed by an ending that summarizes the show’s various themes.
