Golden Slumbers for piano 鋼琴 鋼琴獨奏 朔特版

這首由約翰-列儂（John Lennon）和保羅-麥卡特尼（Paul McCartney）創作的歌曲《金色的沉睡》（Golden Slumbers）廣為人知，1969 年在披頭士樂隊的《艾比之路》（Abbey Road）專輯中發行。據說麥卡特尼是在父親鋼琴上的搖籃曲中發現這首歌的，由於看不懂樂譜，他便自己為這首詩譜曲。竹光的這首鋼琴獨奏改編曲是為高橋安樹（鋼琴）的錄音項目《Hyper Beatles》而作，於 1992 年 8 月 10 日錄製，並於 10 月 23 日在橫濱市教育文化會館首演。竹光用琶音與簡單的旋律和聲，與他之前在《12 首吉他曲》（1977 年）中發表的《Michelle》和《Hey Jude》等披頭士歌曲的改編曲相比，更加融入了他的獨特色彩

原文簡介:
The long-awaited arrangement by Toru Takemitsu (1930-1996) was published by Schott Music Tokyo to commemorate the anniversary of his death, 2016.The universally known song Golden Slumbers, written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, was released on the Beatles' Album Abbey Road in 1969. The text is based on a ballad by Elisabethan dramatist Thomas Dekker, which McCartney is said to have discovered in a lullaby on his father's piano and, unable to read the music, he created his own music for the poem. This arrangement for piano solo by Takemitsu was written for Hyper Beatles, a recording project by Aki Takahashi (piano) recorded on 10 August 1992 and premiered on 23 October at Yokohama City Education & Culture Hall.Takemitsu harmonises the simple melody using arpeggios, incorporating his distinctive colouring into the song even more than in his previous arrangements of Beatles' songs like Michelle and Hey Jude published in 12 Songs for Guitar (1977).
