Requiem da Camera 芬濟 安魂曲 總譜 博浩版

新版由克利斯蒂安-亞歷山大（Christian Alexander）完成了這位年輕作曲家的首部長篇作品；芬齊生前僅演奏過器樂前奏曲。安魂曲為男中音獨唱、小合唱（或 SATB 獨唱）和室內樂團而作，其創作源泉是芬奇的作曲老師歐尼斯特-法拉在 1918 年服役期間去世。這部作品也可被視為一種隱喻--土地的永恆性，以及數百年來農村生活遵循四季輪回節奏的模式，與戰爭造成的暴力破壞和毀滅性混亂形成鮮明對比。這是一部反思性的淒美作品，尤其適合用於紀念第一次世界大戰悲劇的演出"

原文簡介:
New edition with completion by Christian Alexander of the young composer’s first extended work; only the instrumental prelude was performed during Finzi’s lifetime. The other three movements are settings of poems by John Masefield, Thomas Hardy and Wilfrid Wilson Gibson.Scored for baritone solo, small chorus (or SATB soli) and chamber orchestra, the wellspring of the Requiem’s composition was the death, during active service in 1918, of Finzi’s composition teacher, Ernest Farrar. The work may also be viewed as a metaphor – the permanence of the land, and a centuries-old pattern of rural life following the rhythm of the turning seasons, contrasted with the violent havoc and destructive dislocation wrought by war. A reflective and poignant work particularly suitable for performances commemorating the tragedy of World War I.
