Guy Bunce - Composer

Three Haiku

A setting of three haiku by Anoosheh Dastbaz for Choir and Organ and employing the Hodie plainchant as borrowed material.

1: paradise sinks hence (May 2011)
2: under a hushed moon (Oct. 2011)
3: he will bring the day (Incomplete)

The Lord brought the day.
Then came the fall, darkening all.
Paradise sinks hence.

Under a hushed moon.
Sound is stolen, sight is stopped.
Our world a wide tomb.

Away with the night.
Darkling sin, usher in light.
He will bring the day.
Guy Bunce 2019
