about

haiku journey, completed in the autumn of 1998, is dedicated to a very good composing friend of mine. Dudley Hyams (also a New Music Brighton member), who died earlier that year. When I saw Dudley shortly before he died, he told me that he viewed this life as merely a stepping stone on an onward journey to the next experience. I felt that, from somebody who knew he was dying, this was a hopeful view to hold and I was looking for something that expressed such a positive feeling when I came across the Basho poem (reproduced below). This piano piece is not a word setting so much as a gentle contemplation of hope.

On a journey. ill
and over fields all withered, dreams
go wandering still
Marsuo Basho (769AD)
