Marimba Haiku
First rehearsal of the season, and we are planning our program at Lynchburg…and we got derailed writing haiku. So, to whet your appetite for the concert, here’s one:
“Marimba Music”
A solo by Dan Asia
Is five minutes long
As you can see, our programming discussion has informed the poem. We also came up with the alternate:
Marimba music
Is often pentatonic
Refrigerator
Why haiku you ask? Well, Zara will be playing a solo in Lynchburg, based on haiku (This Floating World, by Edie Hill), and Paul is wearing his awesome haiku t-shirt today (see photo). It has this haiku on it:
Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don’t make sense
Refrigerator
NOTE: if you would like to hear Paul play Marimba Music by Dan Asia, and can’t come to the concert, check it out on iTunes.
