Composed by John Craton. Vocal music. A cycle of six atonal songs with English translations of Japanese poems. Avant-garde. Sheet music. Duration 16 minutes. Wolfhead Music #WM702. Published by Wolfhead Music (WF.WM702).This cycle utilizes short Japanese texts translated into English. The work is composed in a near avant-garde style that is something of a departure from the composer's more typical English pastoralism. In what might be termed neo-impressionism, these works are almost onomatopoeic, representnig a form of "nature music" which seeks to capture the essence of the haiku -- short, fleeting images impressed upon the listener's consciousness.
