What do you think about the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? | Antón Alcalde

Performers: Real Filharmonía de Galicia + Banda Municipal de Santiago de Compostela. Conductor: Casiano Mouriño. ABOUT THE PIECE: Commissioned by the Santiago de Compostela Municipal Wind Orchestra on the occasion of its 170th Anniversary, the first performance of this piece was given by the Santiago de Compostela Municipal Wind Orchestra in collaboration with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of Galicia, conducted by Casiano Mouriño at the Galicia Concert Hall in Santiago de Compostela (Spain) on May 11, 2018. It was written in memory of the victims of the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively. The Hiroshima Panels (原爆の図, Genbaku-no zu) are a series of fifteen folding painted panels created by the husband and wife collaborative artists Maruki Iri and Maruki Toshi over a span of thirty-two years (1950-82). The panels depict the consequences of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as other nuclear disasters of the 20th century. The use of traditional Japanese black and white ink drawings, sumi-e, contrasted with the red of atomic fire, produces an effect that is strikingly anti-war and anti-nuclear. Each panel measures 1.8 meters x 7.2 meters. The paintings depict people wrenched by the violence and chaos of the atomic bombing; some are wandering aimlessly with their bodies charred, while others are still being consumed by atomic fire. Dying lovers embrace and mothers cradle their dead children. Each panel portrays the inhumanity, brutality, and hopelessness of war, and the cruelty of bombing civilians. The people depicted in the paintings are not only Japanese citizens but also Korean residents and American POWs who suffered or died in the atomic bombings. The title poses an open question for moral reflection. Based on this assumption and taking as a cornerstone the work of Iri and Toshi Maruki, 'What do you think about the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki?' is organized into seven movements or miniatures that follow each other without interruption. These miniatures are: i. Ghosts, 幽霊 (1950) ii. Fire, 火 (1950) iii. Water, 水 (1950) iv. Rainbow, 虹 (1951) v. Atomic Desert, 原子野 (1952) vi. Bamboo Thicket, 竹やぶ (1954) vii. Floating Lanterns, とうろう流し (1969) For further information: https://www.aalcaldemusic.com/whatdoy... 00:00 Intro 00:22 I Ghosts (幽霊, Yūrei, 1950) 05:33 III Water (水, Mizu, 1950) 08:54 IV Rainbow (虹, Niji, 1951)
