2011 “17 Miyagi Haikus” for flexible orchestration (solo-orchestral).

Description

On March 11, 2011, a terrible triple tragedy hit Japan: an earthquake, a tsunami and, as a consequence of both, a nuclear meltdown at Fukushima. Miyagi prefecture was the first and hardest hit by the tsunami. By coincidence, I had been just reading books about Japanese history, aesthetics and poetry, and watched Japanese movies and documentaries, in the kind of ephemeral, but focused attention we sometimes develop for a place or a person. I was shocked and riveted by the images of the Tsunami I saw on TV, their violence and scope – and then by the meltdown of the reactor and the subsequent fallout.
