Der Erlkönig 總譜

精靈王》（Der Erlkönig）改編自約翰-歌德（Johann Goethe）18 世紀晚期的同名詩歌，詩中寫道：在一個陰森恐怖的夜晚，父親帶著年幼的兒子騎馬回家。父親試圖安撫越來越害怕的兒子，把兒子報告的一切解釋為只是樹葉在風中沙沙作響或柳樹在霧中移動。儘管如此，父親還是越騎越快地趕回家，但當他們到達時，卻發現男孩已經死在了他的懷裡。在這首節奏明快、令人心碎的樂隊音調詩中，歌德黑暗而哥特式的故事娓娓道來，令人毛骨悚然。 (3:20)

原文簡介:
Der Erlkönig, or "The Elf King," is based on Johann Goethe's late 18th-century poem of the same name in which a father and his young son ride home on horseback one dark and eerie night. The father tries to calm the increasingly fearful son by explaining everything the boy reports as simply leaves rustling in the wind or willows moving in the fog. Nonetheless, the father rides faster and faster home only to find the boy is dead in his arms when they arrive. Goethe's dark and gothic tale is brought to spine-tingling life in this harrowing, fast-paced tone poem for band. (3:20)
