このCDに収められた野田暉行の邦楽作品は、すべて20世紀に書かれたもの。３つの四重奏曲を軸に、野田の名作がここに収められている。作曲者自身の言葉によれば、「洋楽も邦楽も区別なく、ただあるのは音楽ばかり」「時代軸も様式軸も音楽を左右するものではなく、今生きている座標のこの地点で歌うことのみが私の音楽のすべて」。邦楽器でありながら邦楽器を感じさせない。一方、クラシックの記譜法で書かれていながらも、それを感じさせない。邦楽器やクラシック音楽という一般的な固定観念を越え、高い次元で曲の発想と楽器の発想が一体化した独自の世界観が体験できる。



(C)進藤綾音野田 暉行（作曲）
1940年生れ。中学時代から作曲を始め、高校卒業時まで一切の音楽教育を受けることなく、ピアノ、ソルフェージュなどすべて自己流のやり方で、ひたすらスコアを読み、弾き、歌い、作曲する毎日を過ごす。高校卒業後、２週間程上京し、池内友次郎氏より初めて和声学の第一歩を学ぶ。翌1959年4月東京芸術大学入学。3年次提出作品のホルン三重奏曲が注目され、N響トップ奏者千葉馨氏によって初演、放送されたのをきっかけに活動を始める。作品は初期のものから、2015年完成のオペラまで多岐にわたり、内外で広く演奏されている。

1962年、大学院修了と同時に母校で教育にあたり、2008年3月、67歳の定年まで続いた。後年、理事、副学長を兼任、映像科設立を実現した。現在、同大学名誉教授。

これまでに委嘱した作曲家は、根本卓也、高橋宏治、松本直祐樹、山本和智、山根明季子、旭井翔一、清水卓也の各氏。

2015年にはNHK-FM放送「邦楽のひととき」にて野田暉行／松の曲（1976）を演奏。

Hougaku Quartet
－Making music for now and the future with traditional Japanese instruments－

A quartet founded in 2011 by four graduates of the Department of Traditional Japanese Music at the Tokyo University of the Arts. (koto, sangen, jushichigen: Noriko Hirata/Yuiko Terai/Hiroyasu Nakajima, shakuhachi: Reison Kuroda).
Based on the concept of “making music for now and the future with traditional Japanese instruments”, the quartet have developed a three-pronged approach to their career: commissioning new works – joint projects with composers to investigate the “now” and “future” of Japanese music, rediscovering major modern Japanese works composed since the 1960s, and performing traditional trios (classical trios for sangen, koto and shakuhachi) which are the bedrock of newer Japanese music.
Composers commissioned to write for the quartet include Takuya Nemoto, Koji Takahashi, Naoyuki Matsumoto, Kazutomo Yamamoto, Akiko Yamane, Shoichi Asai and Takuya Shimizu.
In 2015 the quartet performed “Music of Pine” by Teruyuki Noda for the NHK-FM program “Hougaku no Hitotoki” (Japanese Music Moments).
In addition to giving regular concerts, the quartet continues to widen its repertoire through numerous guest performances and recordings etc.
