Stolen Airs for cello and piano 凱斯肯 大提琴鋼琴 大提琴加鋼琴 朔特版
偷來的空氣》以《西爾維與歌者》中的一段插曲為起點，這是我與小說家蒂姆-賓丁（Tim Binding）合作創作的歌劇。歌者發明了竊取鳥類和動物的聲音和歌聲的技術，最終竊取了人類的聲音和歌聲。歌者慢慢地偷走了西爾維的歌聲，如果她願意告訴歌者她父親發明的一組樂器的秘密，歌者就會把她的歌聲還給她，這組樂器產生了一種無所不能的單一音色。通過這一情節，《偷來的歌聲》的音樂從黑暗中走向三個簡單的歌聲，並以一個遙遠、不同的歌聲作為安靜的尾聲。約翰-卡斯

原文簡介:
Stolen Airs takes as its starting point an episode from Sylvie and the Songman, an opera I am writing in collaboration with the novelist Tim Binding. The Songman has developed the technique of stealing the voices and songs of birds and animals, and eventually humans. Slowly stealing Sylvies voice, the Songman offers to give back her song if she will tell him the secret of a group of instruments invented by her father that have produced an all-powerful single sonority. Using this scenario, the music of Stolen Airs moves from a dark place towards three simple airs, with a distant, different air as a quiet coda. John Casken
