Dusan Bogdanovic - Seven Little Secrets


Dusan Bogdanovic, composer and guitarist

Dusan Bogdanovic, Seven Little Secrets. Recorded by Dusan Bogdanovic in 1999. Published by Editions Doberman-Yppan 

The collection is based on Dogen's haiku:

The world? 
Moonlit drops shaken
from the crane’s bill

DOGEN

Images are all by V. Van Gogh:
1. Blühender Mandelbaumzweig in einem Glas.
2. Der Schnitter (Nach Millet).
3. Grünes Weizenfeld.
4. Trauernder alter Mann.
5. Ein Paar Schuhe.
6. Die Sternnenacht (Zypressen und Dorf).
7.     Bildnis einer jungen Mann mit Kornblume.

I can actually play a couple of these on guitar, 4 and 7.  Maybe I should work up the other five.  They are tiny masterpieces.  I love how 6 takes the time to get where it's going.  Like classical haiku, you could probably write a long paper on each of them.
