Haiku Challenge String Quartets

... maybe so or maybe not

A track produced for Naviar Records Haiku Challenge. The piece is in response to the haiku -
so the earth may run
euphoric with light
moonbeam
For the piece I chose a systems approach as my starting point and assigned each letter of the alphabet a musical note (A - G, sharps and flats I added dependent on what key I chose). I felt using every letter would be too much and as haiku are more about amount of syllables, I chose the first letter from each syllable and built a melody around that. I then used the tintinnabulli technique to create a harmony and arranged the piece around variations switching the melody and harmony between violin, viola and cello.

So The Earth May Run (naviarhaiku386) - Adrian Lane

A track for Naviar Records' Haiku Challenge where a piece of music is composed in response to a haiku.
A very short piece; I wanted to have the violins soar out of the darkness for a brief moment, before going out, like the firefly mentioned.

For That Brief Moment (naviarhaiku390) - Adrian Lane

Created for Naviar Records' weekly haiku challenge. I used the irregular pizzicato on the 1st and 2nd violins to represent the fireworks, together with a melancholy melody representing the other part of the poem.

Far Fireworks (naviarhaiku392) - Adrian Lane

A track for Naviar Records weekly haiku challenge, making a track in response to the haiku posted within one week. I wanted to capture the feeling of watching the rain hit the windows during a storm on a spring day. I also think the piece has a slightly medieval feel to it.

Rain In Spring (naviarhaiku394) - Adrian Lane

A track for Naviar Records' weekly haiku challenge. As this haiku mentions specific Japanese imagery (the kimonos and Tokyo's Sumida River) I thought I'd base my piece largely around the Hirajoshi pentatonic scale, although I have taken a couple of liberties and added an extra note in the first section.

Watching The Sumida (naviarhaiku396) - Adrian Lane

A track for Naviar Records' weekly haiku challenge; seven days to make a piece in response to the haiku posted. Like many of the other pieces I have produced for the challenge, this is based around the sound of the string quartet, playing solemn, minor key melodies.

On Many Solemn Nights We Stand And Marvel (naviarhaiku397) - Adrian Lane

A track for Naviar Records' weekly haiku challenge; seven days to write and record a piece in response to the haiku poem they post. I imagined a summer morning walking through the fields in the area I grew up, the pizzicato representing the cut hay and a pastoral melody.
