Summary of This Score
A haiku is a short Japanese poem, structured in a triptych form of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. Traditionally engraved on stone, it is read but not pronounced, thus opening the mind to meditation. The evocation of simple words, often related to nature, evokes sensations of spontaneity and lightness.
In this score, Dimitri Tchesnokov offers 11 haikus inspired by the work of Matsuo Bashô (1644-1694). Rather than illustrating a narrative or confining each text to a precise interpretation, the composer seeks to musically translate impressions: a light, a breath, a fleeting movement, a discreet presence. Each piece functions as a sound sketch, where the essential sometimes plays out in the interval, resonance, or suspension.
The performer's task is then to preserve this poetic fragility: letting silences live, refining attacks, shaping dynamics, and bringing out subtle contrasts. The whole forms a coherent suite, designed to guide listening toward a form of attentive calm, echoing the spirit of the haiku: say little, suggest much.
