tteii (2020/2022) & Hitah (2020/2022)
tteii (2020/2022) and Hitah (2020/2022) are sister works and they share the common compositional materials. While each work is an independent work, the two works can be performed as one piece. Either they can be played attacca (with order tteii - Hitah) or placed separately in the same program (ex. tteii before the break and Hitah after the break).
Program note:
「誰そ彼（たそかれ）。夕暮れの暗さに人の識別がつかず、白米の味でさえ朧げになる。」
¨Dusk. One can no longer be identified from the darkness, even the taste of white rice becomes obscure.¨
