Haiku: for Flute Duet

Posted on by

After Hokusai by Carey Blyton is a unique group of pieces for two flutes, which are delightful, musical translations of their nature titles.

After Hokusai - Flute music

If you should decide to program After Hokusai, please feel free to read aloud the Haiku I wrote for each movement as part of your performance. My duet partner and I, Windsong Flute Duet, performed this at the annual Bird Fest Concert in Leavenworth, Washington. The audience loved the combination of music and spoken word!

Cormorant in Snow

icy snow sparkles
cormorant takes flight, black, white
snowflakes dust open wings

Carp in Waterfall

crashing waterfall
carp gliding reflects sunlight
sparkling music

Azaleas and Cuckoo

color of pink blooms
bird sounds echo, hammering
fill up sight and sound

Peonies and Butterfly

wind flutters flowers
butterfly touches petals
sights, sounds, nature’s life

Frog on Old Tile

pond, windy water
moving reeds, lilies, frog hops
green on old tile edge
