無伴奏女声合唱による全2章。2003年8月(川上村文化センター うぐいすホール)合唱音楽の新たな地平 八ヶ岳ミュージックセミナー2003(指揮:信長貴富)にて〈第一章〉が委嘱初演され、2004年3月12日(川口総合文化センター リリア 音楽ホール)女声合唱団 青い鳥 定期演奏会Vol.12(指揮:栗山文昭)にて全曲初演された。2024年5月3日(すみだトリフォニーホール 大ホール)Tokyo Cantat 2024 合唱音楽の生誕の季 ~「水のいのち」から「新作」へ にて再演(指揮:山脇卓也/演奏:女声合唱団ぴゅあはーと、早稲田大学女声合唱団)されることを機に、初演から約20年の時を経て刊行の運びとなった。《初心のうた》第3曲〈とむらいのあとは〉にも登場する詩句“Can any tune be more paralyzing than the pointed gun?(銃よりひとをしびれさす歌がありえるか?)”がこの作品の作曲動機となっている。無伴奏女声合唱の冷たく残酷な響きと四行英語詩によるシャープな語感によって衝撃的な楽想を試みた意欲作。手によるミュートを使い発する音や、無声音による言葉の語りなどが導入され、声にならない言葉、言葉にならない声を音楽の中に掬い取りながら、人間やその他の存在への「祈りのうた」が歌われる。

Shipping
We ship worldwide (excluding Japan). Shipping is added at checkout, and each additional book costs less to ship than the first – the amounts are shown in your currency on the product page and in the cart. Orders ship from Japan via Japan Post within 5 business days (excluding Japanese weekends and holidays); delivery typically takes 10–30 days after shipment.
Depending on the number of books and total weight, your order may be split into multiple parcels because of Japan Post weight limits (e.g. 2 kg per parcel). There is no extra charge, and each parcel has its own tracking number.
Import duties and taxes (VAT, etc.) are the responsibility of the recipient under local law (DDU). Parcels returned because delivery was refused are not refunded.
Returns
Because books can be read or copied once opened, we do not accept returns or exchanges for change of mind. For missing or misbound pages, shipping damage or an incorrect item, contact us with photos within 7 days of delivery. Minor shelf wear from distribution (light rubbing or small creases) is normal for new books and is not covered.
