Lichtbogen for 9 Musicians & Live Electronics

Kaija Saariaho 的Lichtbogen全譜，為九位元音樂家和現場電子設備而作。這部作品的標題源于作曲家在開始創作時看到北極光的經歷，這一經歷也塑造了作品的形式和語言。Lichtbogen是薩里亞霍首次在純器樂的背景下使用電腦創作，這一新的作曲元素通過分析小提琴和大提琴演奏的簡短轉場來創造和聲材料，從人工和聲開始，到複雜的多重和聲結束。這首作品的節奏元素是通過電腦程式網路創作的，作曲家可以根據不同的音樂參數構建插部和轉場，節奏插部是通過一組重複但每次都略有變化的音樂模式創作的。Lichtbogen是法國文化部委託創作的，並獻給保羅-梅凡克。這是這位無與倫比的芬蘭作曲家為合奏（長笛、打擊樂、豎琴、鋼琴、兩把小提琴、中提琴、大提琴、低音提琴）和現場電子設備創作的一部傑出作品"

原文簡介:
The full score of Kaija Saariaho's Lichtbogen for Nine Musicians and Live Electronics. The title for this work stems from the composer's experience of seeing the Northern lights whilst starting work on writing the piece, this experience also shaped the form and language of the piece. Lichtbogen was the first time Saariaho had worked with a computer in the context of purely instrumental music, this new compositional element led to harmonic material being created by analysing short transitions played with a violin and cello, starting with artificial harmonic sounds and ending up with complex multi-phonic sounds. The rhythmic elements of this piece were created using a network of computer programmes, allowing the composer to construct interpolations and transitions for different musical parameters, rhythmic interpolations created through sets of musical patterns that are repeated but each time slightly modified in character. Lichtbogen is the commission of the French ministry of culture and is dedicated to Paul Mefanc. A splendid work for Ensemble (Flute, Percussion, Harp, Piano, 2 Violins, Viola Cello, Double Bass) and Live Electronics by this inimitable Finnish composer.
