Present Shadows 鋼琴五重奏

Present Shadows》的靈感來自早在十一世紀就保存在手稿中的舊西班牙禮儀聖詠。它旨在傳達一種停滯感，而這正是原始旋律的旋律結構所喚起的，並通過使用迴圈裝置、緩慢轉換的和聲主幹以及建立中心焦點來實現這一目的，迫使音樂不斷回到開頭的素材

作曲家: Efthymiou Litha

原文簡介:
Present Shadows is inspired by Old Hispanic liturgical chant preserved within manuscripts dating from as early as the eleventh century. It aims to convey a sense of stasis, which the melismatic structure of the original melodies evokes, and does so through the employment of cyclical devices, a slowly transforming harmonic backbone, and the establishment of central points of focus, forcing the music to continually return to the opening material.
