Ryō Noda (野田 燎, Noda Ryo) is a Japanese composer and musician. He has written several classical works for the saxophone. He is also the creator of Musico-Kinetic Therapy, a method used in neurorehabilitation. His contributions have earned him prestigious accolades, such as the SACEM Composition Prize.

History

Noda was born in 1948 in Amagasaki, Japan.

He graduated from the Osaka College of Music as a saxophonist and then pursued advanced music studies at Northwestern University under Frederick Hemke and at the Bordeaux Conservatory under Jean-Marie Londeix.

Noda is noted in the West for his control, avant-garde improvisations and playing techniques. While he is a leading exponent of new Japanese music for the saxophone, his repertoire also includes Western music of the baroque, classical, and romantic periods.

He was twice awarded the Osaka City Art Festival Prize, and in 1986 he won the Osaka Prefecture Gold Award. He received the Grand Prix of the Yamaha Electone Festival in 1989. His work as a composer was recognized when he was awarded the SACEM Composition Prize in 1973.

Selected Works

Noda's saxophone compositions include:

  • Improvisation I, II, and III (based on shakuhachi playing)
  • Mai, Paris 1975 for solo saxophone
  • Phoenix
  • Gen
  • Requiem (Shin Én) for solo saxophone
  • Murasaki No Fuchi for saxophone duet (AA or ST)
