Frammenti da 'Chiara'

這首為兩支對唱女聲合唱團創作的作品，旋律自由飄逸，和聲光彩照人，大部分時間都在低沉的鋼琴聲中度過，作品中的一個詞'chiara'（義大利語中的'清晰'）以及其他一些語言中的對應詞都是對這個詞的探索。克努森有些隱晦地寫道，這首作品 "與聖克雷爾、天使和大炮有關"。這首作品的氛圍令人震撼--稍縱即逝、令人魂牽夢縈、難以捉摸，近乎神秘--這使得《Frammenti da 'Chiara'》這首他唯一的合唱作品成為重新發現的好時機"

原文簡介:
Mostly inhabiting a hushed pianissimo, the free floating melismas and luminous harmonies of this work for two antiphonal choirs of female voices explore one word: ‘chiara’ (‘clear’ in Italian) and its equivalents in a few other languages. Knussen, somewhat cryptically, writes that the piece ‘has something to do with St Clare, angels, and canons.’ The striking atmosphere – fleeting, hauntingly elusive and almost mystical – makes Frammenti da 'Chiara', his only choral work, ripe for rediscovery.
