The Irish
composer Frank Corcoran
already won several first
prizes, such as for his
English-language choral
composition 'Eight
Haikus' at the
International Foundation
for Choral Music in 2013.
The almost 10-minute work
for 4- to 8-part mixed
a-cappella choir is based
on eight secular texts
written by Corcoran
himself in the style of
the famous Japanese haiku
poems. In this shortest
lyrical form of world
literature which consists
of only three lines, the
composer born in 1944
uses a large variety of
labials, sibilants and
plosives and addresses
socially relevant topics
by means of simple
descriptions of nature
and seasons in a
content-wise and
musically figurative and
almost mystical
language.
