Un haïku est un court poème japonais, structuré dans une forme en triptyque de 5, 7 et 5 syllabes. Il est traditionnellement gravé sur une pierre, se lit, mais ne se prononce pas, ouvrant ainsi l’esprit à la méditation, à partir de l’évocation de mots simples, faisant souvent référence à la nature, provoquant des sensations de spontanéité et de légèreté… Ces 11 haïkus sont inspirés de l’œuvre de Matsuo Bashô (1644-1694), poète japonais. Sans vouloir décrire le sens précis, souvent impalpable, j’ai voulu traduire musicalement les sensations ressenties lors des lectures de ces poèmes.

Par KOSKELIN OLLI. 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. / Date parution : 2023-01-24/ Recueil / Flûte Traversière et Guitare
