Arcadiana 艾得斯

阿卡迪亞納》創作於 1994 年，現已成為當代絃樂四重奏曲目的一部分，是湯瑪斯-阿代斯早期的代表作之一。在七個樂章中，有六個樂章令人聯想到各種已消失或正在消失的田園風光。奇數樂章都是水上樂章。第一樂章可能是某個苦悶的貢朵拉人的民謠；第三樂章的標題和寓意來自舒伯特的一首抒情詩；第五樂章中，一艘船駛向歡樂島；第七樂章是遺忘之河。第二樂章和第六樂章分別是田園詩般的阿卡迪亞：莫札特的 "夜之王國 "和更多的當地田野。第四樂章是整首樂曲的中心：普桑的墳墓上刻著'即使在阿卡迪，我也是'"

原文簡介:
Composed in 1994 and now firmly established as part of the contemporary string quartet repertoire, Arcadiana is one of Thomas Adès’s early masterpieces. Six of its seven movements evoke various vanished or vanishing idylls. The odd-numbered movements are all aquatic. I might be the ballad of some lugubrious gondolier; III takes a title and a figuration from a Schubert Lied; in V a ship is seen swirling away to L’Isle Joyeuse; VII is the River of Oblivion. The second and sixth movements inhabit pastoral Arcadias, respectively: Mozart’s ‘Kingdom of Night’, and more local fields. The joker in this pack is the fourth movement, the literal dead centre: Poussin’s tomb bearing the inscription ‘Even in Arcady am I’.
