Although it bears the name Rugby, the composer himself insisted that this work was not programmatic in a traditional sense. Despite what Honegger may have said, it takes little imagination to find oneself in the middle of the pitch dodging tack- les left and right from the very first note. Immediately from the downbeat it is apparent that Honegger is not alluding to two-hand-touch rugby, but rather the sport in its full contact, “hold no pris- oners” variety.

    RICHARD WERNICK HAIKU OF BASHŌ Neva Pilgrim, soprano; Contemporary Chamber Players of The University of Chicago; Richard Wernick, conductor MOONSONGS FROM THE JAPANESE Neva Pilgrim, soprano RICHARD WERNICK (b. Boston, 1934) attended Brandeis University where he studied composition with Irving Fine and Harold Shapero, and received his M.A. degree from Mills College where he studied with Leon Kirchner. Since 1957, when he served as musical director and composer-in-residence of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, he has received many awards and grants — including the 1977 Pulitzer Prize in Music and the award of the American Academy-Institute of Arts and Letters that made this recording possible. Wernick has been a faculty member of the University of Buffalo and the University of Chicago, and became Professor of Music at the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. He writes: “The HAIKU OF BASHŌ is a setting of five haiku by and (in one instance) about Matzuo Bashō (1643-94), generally acknowledged to be the foremost writer of this form of Japanese verse. The first four poems of the cycle are fine examples of how Bashō was able to capture the essence of seemingly inconsequential moments or vignettes and, with the most frugal means of literary expression, communicate to the reader a sense of the timeless and eternal. The fifth poem, written a century later, is more in the nature of a 17-syllable one- line-joke, a play on the word 'bashō' which means 'banana leaf,' “There are no programmatic connections between the haiku and the music, nor is there any attempt at word painting.
