Haiku Composition Reflection


I made a Haiku poem, and then added music and pictures to enhance this Haiku. HERE is the Haiku.
I think the thing that worked well was the drawing I did. This is because, when you are creating something, I was free to draw whatever I like, therefore, I could capture the perfect picture that I saw in my mind when I listened to the music.
I think the thing that didn't work so well in my Haiku composition was the pictures taken from the internet. This is because that even though the pictures included the lily flower, it didn't really enhance my Haiku.
The hardest decision I made was deciding what kind of live track to do, in the end, I composed a new piece, using 1 note in each measure that would be the same as the note in Peer Gynt. This was a hard decision, because I needed to have a live track that still enhances my Haiku, and there wasn't another piece of music that I had that both enhances my Haiku and is easy to the ears with the other piece; Peer Gynt.
The easiest decision I made was deciding what ready-made music I would add to my Haiku, besides my live track. My ready-made music was Peer Gynt Suite because when I hear this song I think of mountains, and lilies. And I think of lilies on mountains, oddly enough, and I really wanted to included Peer Gynt anyway.
I enjoyed the Haiku composition because you could choose the topic that inspired you. Therefore, your interests may lead you to some beautiful (if that's what you intend) music.
Thanks for reading on my blog!
