Product Details


Product Description

This cycle for coloratura soprano accompanied by B-flat clarinet and piano, lasting about 10 minutes, showcases eighteen 3-line/17-syllable poems called haiku, written by the beloved poet Kobayashi Issa of Japan (1763-1828). Many of the songs are just a few seconds long, a few are somewhat longer in the spirit of these precious poetic miniatures. Listeners familiar with the chamber repertoire will recognize the reference in these songs to Schubert's "The Shepherd on the Rock", also for Soprano, Clarinet and Piano. The download consists of both the full score with the clarinet part appended.
