Excerpt: Tru Takemitsu Takemitsu Tru, October 8, 1930 February 20, 1996) was a Japanese composer and writer on aesthetics and music theory. Though largely self-taught, Takemitsu is recognised for his skill in the subtle manipulation of instrumental and orchestral timbre, drawing from a wide range of influences, including jazz, popular music, avant-garde procedures and traditional Japanese music, in a harmonic idiom largely derived from the music of Claude Debussy and Olivier Messiaen. In 1958, he received international attention for his Requiem for strings (1957) which resulted in several commissions from across the world, and settled his reputation as the leading Japanese composer of the 20th century.

In the foreword to a selection of Takemitsu's writings in English, ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=222568 ... Read more
