Description
Five Lyrics for Flute and Piano by Jan Krzywicki
Duration: 17:00
Five Lyrics is a suite of short pieces based on haiku-like poems by W.S. Merwin and a haiku by the great Japanese poet Basho. Each movement focuses on a bird(s) in nature at a particular time of day, the succession of which creates a dawn to moonlight cycle. In the last movement, the “dreams” consist of musical memories of the previous movements. While not directly quoting a given bird’s song, hints can be heard throughout. Commissioned through the Anthony P. Checchia Composer Project of the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society
| 1. Daybreak, mist in valley… 2. Breasts of swallows turning… 3. As the cuckoo flies… 4. Light evening rain… 5. Birds hidden in moonlit boughs… |
