About the piece
“Tsuki ga dete
Shirogane no yoru
Shiawase da
The moon rises
Overhead a silver night
This is happiness”
My husband gave me this poem as a Valentine’s Day gift when we were first dating and I set it to music to celebrate our wedding. It was inspired by moonlit walks on the beach below the bluffs on the UC Santa Barbara campus; the lap of the small waves against the sand, and the shimmering path of light from the moon on the water.
