Part 1
Roberto Gerhard composed Seven Haiku in 1922-23, shortly before going to study with Schoenberg. The haiku are not Japanese: they were written in French by the Catalan poet Josep-Maria Junoy who, while not adhering strictly to the classical seventeen-syllable form, retains the essence of the haiku-the power of vividly suggesting image and ambience with the greatest economy of means.
