Info

Kokiriko alla Marcia was composed for the National Athletic Meet in Toyama prefecture in 2000. It includes elements of Toyama folk tunes. Kokiriko is the Japanese traditional percussion instrument, which is a pair of bamboo sticks about 25 cm long and 2 to 3 cm in diameter, and played like Claves. Kokiriko are rarely available in music stores even in Japan, so Claves can be used as a subsititute. In this piece two more traditional percussion appear: Bohzasara and Zasara. Bohzasara (also called Surizasara) consists of two sticks of about 30 cm length. One is serrated and the other is split into thinner strips. Bohzasara are played by holding the indented stick with the right hand and rubbing the split stick with the left hand. There is no similar western instrument, so the composer recommends using the Guiro. Zasara or Binzasara has 108 (a very important number in Buddhism) wooden cards looking like dominos that are bound together. Moving the handles on both ends of the wooden cards creates a specific sound. A large Guiro could serve as substitute. The sounds of these percussion brings images of Japan to the listeners’ minds.
