Haiku, Book 12

Graham Patterson's Haiku, Book 12 presents a sensitive setting of English haiku. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic textures, with interplay between the voices creating a delicate and evocative sound world. The composer explores the imagery and emotion of the short, evocative poems, crafting a piece that is both musically engaging and textually sensitive. This is secular part-song writing that draws the listener into its carefully constructed atmosphere.
