Indian Summer

from Haiku Music - Volume 3 by George L Smyth

/

about

Indian summer:
dragonfly shadows seldom
brush the window.

This is a haiku by Masaoka Shiki, mostly known for having revitalized haiku in the time when, after centuries of isolation, Japan opened to the West and was flooded with new ideas from abroad.

I just returned from a wonderful week in a cottage by a lake, watching dragonflies hover and move as I sat reading. The stillness and calm of the near solitude gave be a basis for this piece.

Indian Summer was written for Flute, Clarinet, Horn, Trombone, solo Violin and solo Viola.
