In Olli Koskelin's 7 Haiku for flute and guitar the haiku gets three different interpretations: intertwined with the composed version the performers improvise it and read it out loud. The texts of haiku are included in English and in Finnish.Duration: c. 15'This product is a B4 sized folder with two copies of the performance score (loose pages).Olli Koskelin's (born 16 April 1955) compositional output reflects a wide range of interests. The vast area covered by his style encompasses the neo-impressionism of the piano work Courbures (1989) to the post-expressionist echoes of his Music for String Quartet (1981) as well as the breakneck virtuosity of his clarinet piece Exalte (1985/1991) and the rich romantic textures of his orchestral piece ... like a planet silently breathing... (1993). He often uses the overtone series like the French spectral composers and avoids dramatic culmination. Soft harmonics, tranquil arching melodies, a leisurely rhythmical pulse and a coherence of mood are in evidence in his later works as in Uurre (1997) for chamber ensemble, Miniatures (1997) for string quartet and Circles within for 19 solo strings.

A diptych by poet Mary Jo Salter, the text of Fred Hersch's Two Haiku compares the fleeting span of a life to the turning of the seasons. In addition to painting the words of these brief stanzas with rich chromatic harmonies, Hersch's six-minute score calls upon the singers to illustrate the themes of the haiku with the sounds of whistled birdsong and unvoiced breaths.
Dedicated to the memory of musician and educator Steve Zegree, this eight-part choral setting was commissioned for vocal octet Roomful of Teeth by Ryan McNaughton and premiered at the 2017 Ecstatic Music Festival.

Two haiku (the first for piano alone---the only piece here to have been published before---the latter by Basho) bookend three love songs dedicated to Harvey's wife, Rosa. The grouping of the pieces into an eight-minute cycle was the composer's own idea, and it mixes Eastern and Western poets in a totally characteristic manner. Both Tagore and e. e. cummings are represented, poets who are featured in some of Harvey's finest works (Song Offerings and Forms of Emptiness, respectively), and a third song sets Tennyson's Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal.

The Irish composer Frank Corcoran already won several first prizes, such as for his English-language choral composition 'Eight Haikus' at the International Foundation for Choral Music in 2013. The almost 10-minute work for 4- to 8-part mixed a-cappella choir is based on eight secular texts written by Corcoran himself in the style of the famous Japanese haiku poems. In this shortest lyrical form of world literature which consists of only three lines, the composer born in 1944 uses a large variety of labials, sibilants and plosives and addresses socially relevant topics by means of simple descriptions of nature and seasons in a content-wise and musically figurative and almost mystical language.

Ich schrieb Lo-Shu VI auf der Suche nach einer weiteren Verknappung meiner musikalischen Sprache. Die Form der klassischen japanischen Haiku-Dichtung wird hier - wie schon in fruheren Werken - in folgendem Sinn ubernommen: Die 17 Silben des Haiku entsprechen 17 Grosstakten eines musikalischen Satzes; jeder dieser Takte ist im Sinn von Tempo und Harmonik eine autonome musikalische Einheit, vergleichbar der ,,Phrase unserer klassischen Musik (er dauert zwischen 6 und ca. 12 Sekunden). Die Gliederung 5-7-5 des Haiku wird durch zwei lange Pausen deutlich; die Takte selber sind nicht im Sinne einer Entwicklungsform aneinander gefugt, sondern tragen ihr Zentrum in sich selbst. Ich arbeitete nur zum Teil logisch-konstruktiv; ebenso stark sind informelle, verwischende Elemente zu finden. Die Zeit wird in diesem Stuck im dramatischen, vorwarts drangenden Sinn dauernd negiert, ja aufgehoben; es entsteht ein Schwebe-Zustand um eine Art Nullpunkt herum. Die Musik tritt immer wieder in den Zustand des Schweigens ein, in dem die rezeptive Aufmerksamkeit sich regenerieren kann. Die 5 Haikai bilden keinen Zyklus; sie konnen deswegen auch einzeln oder in beliebigen Kombinationen gespielt werden. Die Metronomangaben dienen nur der Orientierung. Die Stucke sollen wie in tiefer Versunkenheit improvisiert klingen. Die Pausen sollen so lange gehalten werden, dass die Abschnitte der einzelnen Haikai nicht im Sinne ,,logischer Kontinuitat verbunden erscheinen. Spielt man einen Zyklus, ist darauf zu achten, dass die Pause zwischen zwei Haikai langer als eine grosse Fermate im Innern des Haiku ist.

Football (resp. soccer) has been fascinating for many contemporary composers - maybe because of the unpredictable dramaturgy within a match, the complexity of different combinations, contrasts or complements between different strategies, the soloist-like position of extraordinary players - in short, there are numerous connections to musical ideas.Zeitlupen (Slow-motion replays) reflects football on different layers. The cycle consists of three interlocking parts: four poems from Gottfried Blumenstein's 11 Haikus vom Fussballfeld form the musical core, to which three pantomime-actions with piano accompaniment, showing characteristic situations, are added. (This idea is based on a kind of a slow-motion-soccer, using a balloon instead of a football, that I used to play with my brother in our room, when the weather not allowed to go outside for a match on the playground nearby. The similarity towards far-eastern meditational techniques of these pantomimes also forms a connection to the haiku form of the poems.) The piece is completed by two recitations recalling famous teams and the best and (maybe) worst from german football history: the world champions from 1954 and the team of the unbearable put-up game against Austria during the world championship of 1982. This part also refers to a well-known poem by Peter Handke, Die Aufstellung des 1. FC Nurnberg vom 27. 1. 1968.Behind that, playing with numbers has been important for the structure. The form of the haiku (5-7-5 syllables), a symmetric all-interval-series and many other elements are taken from the number of 12 (eleven players and their coach). Gesture and sound-colours of the piano part are economical but precise; towards the ending percussive sounds dominate it. Directly illustrative moments - like the rhythm of cheers call in Nr. IV - are rather exceptional. The altogether form follows the labyrinthical structure of Pierre Boulez' Le marteau sans maitre, written around the famous year of 1954...Benjamin Schweitzer.

This Night Of No Moon for Ensemble was composed by Bent Sorensen in 1998-99. Programme Note: The title THIS NIGHT OF NO MOON is taken from the haiku poem by the female Japanese writer Ono No Komachi (834-880), about the emptiness without one's beloved - the night without a moon - the night without hope. In this piece songs and melodies are hidden - songs and melodies for this title and for other Haiku poems by the same poet. The piece is in four movements and is commissioned Michio Nakajima Mirrk Art Forum for BIT-20. (Bent Sorensen).

As a firm avant-gardist, Ursula Mamlock primarily focused on instrumental music, mostly with typically reduced means and expression.Text-based pieces, vocal music, especially choral music are exceptions in her oeuvre, thereby arousing special interest. For example, Mamlok set several haikus to music (in English translation): The fragile precision of these suggestive Japanese poems was in line with her sense of aesthetics. Her work Mosaics consists of eight extremely short pieces. The mixed choir singing in a soloistic manner does not develop in a linear way but helps to create different colourful pictures that interact with each other, a kind of light, restless serenity. 'Even Webern did not dare write such short pieces, especially not for choir', judges Mamlok's biographer Habakuk Traber. 'In the literature for vocal ensembles, Mamlok's Mosaics stands out unique.'.
