Martin Lohse 1999
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.
Martin Lohse 1999

Haiku 2
cl, vln, vc & pno
Majregn forstøver
Og broens grånen
Frem af disen
Haiku 3
vln & vc
Bjerget i regndis
Hyllet dets skønhed
Ikke til at rokke
Haiku 12

Tempelklokken dør hen
Blomsternes dufte
Kimer videre
.......
The temple bell dies away
the scent of flowers in the evening
is still tolling the bell
Haiku 10
cl, vln & vc
En hytte ganske lille
Myggene små og tavse
Andet ejer jeg ikke

cl, vln & vc
Verden én farve
Og vindens hvislen
Det er vinter
.......
The world one color,
and the wind hissing
it's winter
Haiku 8
vln
Bambuslunden så lille
Blæsten gemte sig her
Og blev stille
.......
Lonely silence,
a single cicada's cry
sinking into stone
Haiku 4
cl, vln, vc & pno
At se på månen
Skyer omsider
At kunne trække vejret
Haiku 23
cl & vc
Et hastigt glimt
Nattehejrens skrig
Baskende i mørket
Haiku 21
vln & pno
En gammel dam
En frø springer
Plask
Haiku

Så stille
Ind i klippen
Sank cikadens skrig

Jeg rejser syg
Stille over visne marker
Strejfer mine drømme
