Work introduction
These three little pieces are based on the three haikus by Bashô, Buson and Kanna written below. The music, linked to the Japanese poems and also to the extremely inspiring pictures of Ukiyo-e, is trying to recreate the essence of this subtle and evocative world.
The composition was premiered in Girona cathedral during the Religious and World Music Festival (2009).
Coolness:
Slowly, the wind
is reaching my soul.
BASHÔ
Freshness.
The bell sound escaping
from the bell.
BUSON
Autumn breeze;
driftwood
landing lightly on the bank.
KANNA
