Publication Title Author Date Reaction Synopsis Type
The New York Times Five Local Premieres Will Crutchfield 2/5/86 Neutral "...slightly diverting in its own way..." Review
The New York Times Aki Takahashi, Pianist Bernard Holland 1/16/89 Negative Mr. Fujieda'a extremely difficult piece subjects its Gregorian theme to an incessant scrambling shifts of color and texture. Its subject stands, nothing moves. Review
The Village Voice Aki Takahashi Voice Ads 1/17/89 Neutral Article
The Village Voice In the Loops Kyle Gann 2/14/89 Negative The weakest offering was Fujieda's Kyrie Resounded I, he set a flat clarinet line of modulating arpeggios against moody, Messiaenish chords on the piano and sounded like a reg. piece Review
New York Times Classical Music in Review James R. Oestreich 3/22/94 Positive "Mamoru Fujieda worked electronic keyboards in his ritualistic 'Night Chant No.3'...the concluding section...was especially haunting." Review
