...but all shall be well 艾得斯

湯瑪斯-阿德斯的首部大型管弦樂作品《四重奏》的標題取自艾略特《四重奏》的最後一句。這部 10 分鐘的作品創作於 1993 年，圍繞著一個單一的旋律展開，旋律從細膩、空靈的音調變化中產生，經過無數巧妙的組合和排列。作曲家稱這部精雕細琢的作品為管弦樂隊的 "慰藉"，作品結尾處還引用了李斯特的典故。這部作品是為紀念劍橋音樂協會成立 150 周年而創作的，1994 年在伊利大教堂首演，一年後由哈雷管弦樂團在 BBC Proms 上演奏

原文簡介:
Lines taken from the last of T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets provided the title for this, Thomas Adès’s first large-scale orchestral score. Composed in 1993, this ten-minute work is built around a single melody which, after emerging from a delicate, airy tintinnabulation is transformed through numerous ingenious combinations and permutations. The composer calls this intricately crafted work a ‘consolation’ for orchestra and the work ends with an allusion to Liszt. The work was commissioned to mark the 150th anniversary of the Cambridge Music Society and was first performed in Ely Cathedral in 1994 before being taken up a year later at the BBC Proms by the Hallé Orchestra. ‘Intimate, meditative music, elaborately and lovingly worked’ The Observer (Andrew Porter), 6 August 1995
