Rakugo, or ?fallen words?, is a traditional form of Japanese entertainment performed by a lone, seated storyteller (rakugoka) with very few props, if any at all. The complications of each story ? its dramatic arc, characterizations and plot turns ? are expressed using extremely minimal means, relying on the verbal talents of the rakugoka to maintain interest. This idea is explored in this work for solo organ by Tarik O'Regan: Fallen Words. The piece uses a simple, pedal-like thread from start to finish around which is woven the performer?s ?story?.
