In the year 2000, after Alan’s death, Hinako Fujihara-Hovhaness started
writing poems, which was the only way she could cope with her great loss. They
were written with her limited English, yet they were spontaneous and poignant,
straight from her heart. After she had written hundreds of poems, it was not
enough. Hinako started writing stories from my memories about Alan, events she
had experienced with him.
To Hinako, “Alan was a master of
counterpoint and an intellectual, yet he had many different sides to his
personality, from being a polite, distinguished gentleman to a wild savage,
idealistic, and old-fashioned man to sexy womanizer. He understood human
nature and emotion, and I think that is why his music touches people’s
hearts and is loved by them, even though his music is built on an intellectual
foundation”.
