The Tale of Genji-the pinnacle of Japanese literature, spanning nearly one million characters.Determined to depict the love, hatred, prayers, and transience inherent in this story through 'sound,' Seiji Endo spent eight years composing all 54 chapters and 57 pieces.This work presents a carefully selected collection of pieces from that sonic world, compiled as a double LP.Like tracing the story itself, the music quietly, and at times intensely, stirs the heart.Song ListDisc 1A1. 1 chapter Kiritsubo (Kiritsubo changing clothes)A2. 5 volumes Wakamurasaki (Murasaki no Ue)A3. 9-jo Aoi (Aoi no Ue)A4. 9-tatami mats Aoi (Rokujo no Miyasudokoro)A5. 11 chapters Hanachirisato (Hanachirisato)B1. 12 tatami mats/13 tatami mats Suma/AkashiB2. 20 tatami mats Morning glory (morning glory)B3. 21st volume Girl (Kumo no Geese)B4. 22 tatami mats (tamakazura)B5. 23 pages Hatsune (Akashihime)Disc 2C1. 28 volumes Nobi (Evening Mist)C2. 35 tatami mats Wakanashita (Kashiwagi)C3. 40 volumes of Goho (Lady Murasaki)C4. 41st volume: Illusion (Genji)D1. 45 volumes Hashihime (Kaoru)D2. 48 chapters Early Warabi (Naka-kun)D3. 51 tatami Ukifune (Ukifune)D4. 53 volumes of 'Te-nari' (Ukifune)D5. 54 pages Yume no Ukihashi (Floating Boat)
