about

Lo spaccapietre (The Japanese Stonecutter) is a parable, a story which illustrates a lesson, a point of doctrine.
The text (orig. by Multatuli) accompanying the music is an adaption in Italiano by Maria Vittoria Jedlowski. The parable deals with a discontentaed stonecutter. At his request, an angel changes him into other, more powerful forms. Yet he is still discontent, but in the form of a rock he realizes the true power of a stonecutter. He wants to be a stonecutter again.

Music (for two guitars and narrator) composed by Annette Kruisbrink

The thematic material of the first and last movement “The Stonecutter” is taken from Japanese melodies known as tsugaru-jamisen. The tsugaru-jamisen are generally played at the beginning of ceremonies or celebrations. The themes of “The Angel” are based on Chinese music. The melodies in “The Rich Man” are a a mixture of a folk dance from Laos and a Japanese folksong. The themes used in “The King” are derived from a folk dance from Northern Malaysia (as danced by women at the Imperial Palace) and Mongolian folk music (a.o. Sigsirgin ay - in praise of the horse).“The Sun” is based on Indonesian music; a trance dance (Jaranan). In “The Cloud” elements from a Chinese ‘Wu’ piece are used, describing a battle. The themes used in “The Rock” are from China and Japan (Midare, a classical Japanese koto piece).
