"Brian's Song"
took on a whole new meaning for us today, as we
experienced Brian's song, when Jodaiko perfomed his
composition, 'Taka, Kawa, Toki' (The Hawk, The
River and The
Ibis):
"The main themes of
the song are the natural objects mentioned in the title,
and the song was written with the intention of
representing then in the order they appear in the
title. The song features a number of breaks and
changes in time, suggesting a single observer's quick,
but appreciative glances over a natual landscape in
which the hawk, river, and ibis are the most noted and
watched aspects of the Environment. Imagine your
own version of the scene as the song describes it to
you." ~ Brian, 2002
Brian is a man after our
own hearts, nature lovers that we are. This song
celebrating nature comes fresh on the heels of my
website "rhapsody" over the natural
landscape of Big Bear Lake and its eagles, lake and
streams and wildlife. We are in sync.
And now, Brian is a
composer of songs with nature themes.
