Work introduction
Silenzio
Accordion solo
Sick on my
journey,
only my dreams
will wander
these desolate
moors
------------------
On a journey,
ill:
my dream goes
wandering
over withered
fields
------------------
This work is inspired by the haiku poem above by the old master Basho, here reproduced in two versions.
It is his last poetry - his death poem.
The mood is somewhere between dream and reality, the living and the dead where consciousness wanders by unknown paths.
Silenzio is dedicated to Bjarke Mogensen. The score is in exact pitch, and the proposed registers can be changed according to room and instrument etc.
