Note:
Haragei is literally translated from the Japanese to mean “stomach art.” These wordless pieces, collaboratively written by Paul John Rudoi and Timothy C. Takach are intended to convey emotion without the support of poetry. Unique, engaging and fresh vocal writing pervade these 4 miniature pieces. These could be sung as a duet or as a full choir. The ranges and melodies are tricky, so don’t be fooled by the two part writing! These pieces can be sung a set, or interspersed as breaks into a longer program.
