THREE HAIKU (score & parts)

Three Haiku fulfils Jeffery Wilson's long held desire to compose for clarinet choir. He was particularly pleased to be able to involve his love of the Japanese art form, Haiku, with the simplicity and emotional directness of the texts. Students of the form will know the classical syllabic structure of 5 '' 7 '' 5 in the poetry, yet there is so much more to the aesthetic and content of Haiku. Whilst the music has much to do with the formal structure of the poems translated below Jeffery hopes the listener can derive something of the narrative too.
Movement 1
How I would like
To wash the world''s dust
With these dewdrops
BASHO
Movement 2
What''s the butterfly
Dreaming
As it moves its wings so?
CHIYOJO
Movement 3
Everyone''s gone home.
The fireworks are over.
How dark the night is!
