About the Score
This is a sort of partner-song, which would make it a very accessible piece for a HS ensemble or advanced MS mixed chorus. The minimalist piano accompaniment for this piece had floated around in my head for years before writing. This piece pairs with "Toku-Toku," a men's choir piece, as well as a handful of other songs (all with texts by Basho) as part of a cycle which is currently in the works, called "Shiki Haiku," or "Four Seasons Haiku."
