Haiku (1999)
for clarinet in Bb, violin, cello and piano
The work is inspired by haiku poems by the poet Basho from the old japan, and consist of 12 musical moods or moments between 20 seconds and one and a half minute, except the last piece which last a little more than 4 minutes.
The musician decide the number and succession of the 12 musical “poems”, thereby deciding if one or all twelve should be heard, if there should be a progress or if a musical form should be merging out of the small pieces.
A progression used in several concerts is piece number: 2, 3, 12, 10, 39, 8, 4, 23, 21, 17 and 26
The special numbering of the 12 pieces refers to the verse numbers in Hans-Jørgen Nielsen: HAIKU – en introduktion og 150 gendigtninger. (Haiku - an introduction and 150 rewritings). They are all in danish, with a translation of poem number 12, 39, 8 and 26 to english.
The score is transposed.

In Danish
Haiku (1999)
Værket er inspireret af haiku-digte fra det gamle Japan, og består af 12 musikalske stemninger eller øjeblikke på imellem 20 sekunder og halvanden minut, dog med et enkelt stykke på lidt over 4 minutter.
Musikerne bestemmer selv antallet og rækkefølgen af de 12 musikalske ”digte” – om alle 12 eller måske kun 2 skal høres, og om der overhovedet skal danne sig et samlet forløb – en samlet form ud af det musikalske materiale.
En rækkefølge brugt ved flere koncerter er: Værk nr. 2, 3, 12, 10, 39, 8, 4, 23, 21, 17, xx og 26
