Frank Corcoran : THREE HAIKUS FOR THE CARDIFF STILL-LIFE WITH
GUITAR TRIO
( for our September 2013 Cardiff National Museum Concert premiering my newly commissioned SEVEN CUBIST MINIATURES for Guitar , Flute and Viola )
1. Flute, then viola.
Gris´s guitar. Still his brush-strokes.
It´s painted music.
2. Beware now, Cardiff !
“Hang all harpers and pipers!”
Pass round this gay cup!
3. Take now three colours.
Tones sigh, die, fight painted death.
Poised paint is music.
