Jacob’s Song of Praiseヤコブの讃歌

Jacob’s Song of Praise

Solo piece by Kazuo Ohno presented during Part One of the First Kazuo Ohno Modern Dance Recital, which took place on 27 November 1949.
The programme reads: 'His cheeks wet with remorse, the pilgrim dreamed of angels going up and down a stairway to heaven and heard the voice of God, then early next morning took his stone pillow, set it up as a pillar and poured ointment on it, and called it the sacred place of Bethel'.
Critic Tatsuo Nagata praised the work as 'unique' in the Shinyukan newspaper.
