Search - michel Dubeau :: Haiku!

Haku is a classical Japanese poem made of three verses. The first and third of these verses have five syllables, the third one, seven, for a total of seventeen syllables per Haiku. Haku is pure and clear poetry closely related to seasons and nature. The influence of Zen is omnipresent in these simple poems wich evoke moving images. Michel Dubeau has succeeded in capturing with great emotion and sensitivity the universe of Haku with compositions inspired by the Japanese philosophy so rich in refinement and shades. With its unique sound, the Japanese flute (Shakuhachi) links the poems to a music that emphasises on improvisation and the quest of expressivity.
