The Garden of Rain Trees (Symphony 13)
(2)David Ezra Okonsar’s Symphony XIII, The Garden of Rain Trees (In Memoriam Tōru Takemitsu) blends orchestra, shamisen, koto, shakuhachi, and electronika into a resonant landscape where sound and silence coexist. Inspired by Takemitsu’s aesthetics, the work explores ma—silence as active presence—framing dense textures, lyrical fragments, and shifting dreamlike forms. A tribute that becomes dialogue, it evokes nature’s unpredictability and timeless beauty.
