[KODAMA] (2019) - for percussion quartet

Premiere by Third Coast Percussion. As part of the UChiago Presents series at Reva and Logan Center for the Arts, Chicago-IL. 10/12/2019.

In Japanese lore, Kodama has many different meanings through different eras. Kodama was said to be spirits, nature deities that dwelled in trees. Some believed that Kodama was not linked to a single tree but could move nimbly through the forest, traveling freely from tree to tree. But they were also a sound. Echoes that reverberated through mountains and valleys were said to be Kodama. The sound of a tree crashing in the woods was also said to be the plaintive cry of a Kodama.
