Chanson Éloignee

當被要求為太平洋合唱團在新的賽格斯特羅姆音樂廳舉行的首演音樂會創作一首頌揚音樂的作品時，我再次轉向了里爾克的詩歌。他為Chanson Éloignée所寫的引人入勝的文字將深深地引起世界各地所有歌唱家的共鳴--內心對歌聲和愛的渴望，以及被賦予歌唱天賦的意義"

原文簡介:
When asked to compose a piece in celebration of music for the Pacific Chorale's inaugural concert in the new Segerstrom Concert Hall, I once again turned to the poetry of Rilke. His captivating texts for Chanson Éloignée will resonate deeply with all singers everywhere - the yearning of a heart for song and for love, and what it means to be given the gift of singing.
