Jasper Drag for clarinet, violin and piano 鋼琴三重奏 小提琴鋼琴 朔特版

Jasper Drag》是密西根州立大學和菲力浦斯收藏館委託 Verdehr 三重奏創作的。標題指的是 1998 年 6 月 7 日發生在德克薩斯州賈斯珀的事件，三名白人男子將一名黑人男子用鐵鍊拴在一輛小卡車的後座上，然後將其拖拽致死。作曲家寫道："這首曲子並不是為了講述一個故事，甚至不是為了喚起人們的記憶。Jasper Drag》意在成為一個仍在成長的國家集體記憶中的一個標記。樂譜是為了紀念詹姆斯-伯德（James Byrd），小詹姆斯-伯德是這一種族動機行為的受害者"。- 卡曼-摩爾（2000 年）

原文簡介:
Jasper Drag was commissioned by Michigan State University and the Phillips Collection for the Verdehr Trio. The title refers to the June 7, 1998 Jasper, Texas incident, wherein three white men dragged a black man to his death after chaining him to the back of a pickup truck. The composer writes, “This composition is not intended to tell a story, or even to evoke images. Jasper Drag is meant to be a marker on the collective memory of a nation still growing. The score is inscribed to the memory of James Byrd, Jr., the victim of this racially motivated act.” – Carman Moore (2000)
