Aidan Patrick Cook, composer

For Shakuhachi, Viola, and Cello:

 

Resenting the early summer rains,

smoke rises in faint trails

from the brineboiler's hut on the coast.

-Shinkei

 

Dimly, far away,

the pine has faded into dusk.

-Genkō

 

When was it that I waited

by myself 'til morning

in the vain hope you would come?

-Kō
