About Sendas de Oku
Inspired by the travel journal Oku no Hosomichi by the great Japanese poet Matsuo Bashō (1644-1694), the pieces in the Sendas de Oku set were written specifically for the members of the Hermida-Ito family (three cellists and a pianist). Throughout this family book various possibilities, or pathways, are proposed, which explore various combinations, including solos.
About This Piece
“Los meses y los días son viajeros de la eternidad. El año que se va y el que viene también son viajeros. Para aquellos que dejan flotar sus vidas a bordo de los barcos o envejecen conduciendo caballos, todos los días son viaje y su casa misma es viaje.”
—Basho (tr. Octavio Paz)
