Program Note:
Netori (which translates as "tuning") is an introductory tuning piece for Gagaku, an ancient form of Japanese/Chinese imperial court music. Through Gagaku, the listener focuses on the now, and Netori invites the listener to experience oneness and emptiness. 

"Netori, Netori," for clarinet and gagaku ensemble, draws on both Gagaku and the western classical concerto tradition. Through tuning and the interaction of soloist and ensemble, the piece explores: 
1) how cultures interact
2) how the abstract devours the real 
3) how to get in; how to get out

The piece is dedicated to clarinetist Thomas Piercy.

This is the premiere recording; Nov 18, 2017; Tenri Cultural Institute
