In English
- Haiku (1999)
- Clarinet, violin, cello and piano
- Haiku is inspired by the poems of the Japanese master Basho. The work consists of 12 musical moods or moments, ranging from 20 seconds to four minutes in duration. The performers determine the number and succession of the pieces, allowing a unique musical form to emerge in each performance.
- The specific numbering of the 12 pieces refers to the verse numbers in Hans-Jørgen Nielsen's introduction to Haiku. A sequence often used in concerts is: 2, 3, 12, 10, 39, 8, 4, 23, 21, 17 and 26.

In Danish
- Haiku (1999)
- Klarinet, violin, cello og klaver
- Haiku er inspireret af den japanske mester Bashos digte. Værket består af 12 musikalske stemninger eller øjeblikke med en varighed på mellem 20 sekunder og fire minutter. Musikerne bestemmer selv antallet og rækkefølgen af de 12 stykker, hvilket lader en unik musikalsk form opstå ved hver fremførelse.
- Den særlige nummerering af de 12 stykker refererer til versnumrene i Hans-Jørgen Nielsens introduktion til Haiku. En rækkefølge ofte brugt ved koncerter er: 2, 3, 12, 10, 39, 8, 4, 23, 21, 17 og 26.
