Music for Japan

日本音樂 "以巨大的嗚咽聲開始，頗似日本古典歌唱演員深沉的胸腔發聲。緩慢的音色和重音的行星式漫遊讓位于放大打擊樂的中段，節奏強烈，令人興奮。當漩渦般的音群進入無雲的 E 大調和絃時，會產生一種美妙的效果（重複）；最後的和絃結構是管弦樂聲音的奇妙歡騰梯田"

原文簡介:
"Music for Japan begins with a great sobbing breath of sound, rather like the deep chesty vocalism of Japanese classical singer-actors. Slow planetary wanderings of timbre and accent give way to a middle section for amplified percussion, strongly rhythmic and excitingly developed. There is one beautiful effect (repeated) when a swirling mass of sound comes out into a cloudless major chord on E; and the final chordal structure is a marvellously exultant terracing of orchestral sound." Roger Covell, The Sydney Morning Herald, 3 January 1971
