About this Work
The same thoughts which animated the composition of "Hiten-Seido II" also form the basis for the contents of this work. However, whereas Hiten-Seido II daws its inspiration from the elegant and vivid images of Heaven depicted on the frescoes in the caves of Dunhuang (China) which stem from the Tang Dynasty (618-907), it is the floating images of Heaven depicted on frescoes dated from a much earlier period which provide the motives generating "Hiten-Seido III". During this earlier period, these depictions were not yet amplified through the use of contours. These heavenly images thus retain a primordial strength, vitality and radiance, which this music trys to recreate.
