- Program Notes
The sword is crafted in the forge with mighty hammer blows. You can see the hot fire, observe the sparkling sparks, and hear the sound of the hammer strikes. Metallic tones, rhythms, and accents, along with the acceleration and deceleration of the grand pulse, evoke the notion of movement and dynamics, bringing the swordsmithing process to life. Visual depictions of the fire and sparks have been translated into sound.
