Ajoutée par peter-bird, 17 Avr 2011 This piece is dedicated to the victims of the 2011 tsunami, and to their surviving relatives. The text is 5 short tanka poems from the 13th-century ?Ogura Hyakunin Isshu?. The first two poems were selected because they serve as metaphors for the disaster,<br> and the last three poems were selected because they serve as metaphors for the summer Obon festival observances that may provide a measure of healing for some. English translations (based on those of Clay MacCauley, 1917) are provided, <br> and the piece may be sung in either Japanese or English. (Currently, the Japanese is represented by western Romaji characters.) Source / Web : | Fresh Choral Music Online | Niveau de difficulté :
