Yume is a score to a scene that would appear in a biopic for the poet Matsuo Basho. In his last hours, he lays in bed, ill. Around him are gathered his disciples, to whom he gifts his final poem. He recites the 17 syllable poem and shortly afterward dies. The poem (in loose english translation) reads:
On a journey, fallen ill and over withered fields dreams go wandering still
(The japanese is: Tabi ni yande/yume wa kareno wo/kakemeguru)
Beautiful score...very modern and moody...pensive... sometimes, with some of the more dissonant tone clusters, conveying uncertainty or lack of resolution....perhaps associated with being on one's deathbed...just my personal emotive reaction. Well done.
