Autumn Gardens 勞塔瓦拉 總譜 芬尼卡·蓋爾曼版

據勞塔瓦拉的說法，"這部作品的名字引自我的歌劇《太陽之家》的劇本： "......像暗秋花園中的蝴蝶......"。這句話的主題是第一樂章變奏曲的主題。變奏曲的織體逐漸變大、變密。接下來是一個節奏和力度均勻、緩慢而富有詩意的樂章。快速、活潑的終曲以 "嬉游曲"（giocoso e leggiero）開始。但秋天也是一個色彩斑斕的季節，也是一個死亡的季節。最後，音樂變成了一支歡慶的舞蹈。也許，這首樂曲是對夏日即將逝去的絢爛的薩拉班德的迴響--正如 T.S. 艾略特所說的那樣： 或如 T.S. 艾略特所言："晚開的玫瑰綴滿了初雪"。秋日花園》由蘇格蘭室內樂團委託創作，於 1999 年 7 月在倫敦 Proms 音樂節上首演"

原文簡介:
According to Rautavaara The name of the work is a quotation from the libretto of my opera The House of the Sun: ”…like a butterfly in a dark autumn garden…”. The motif to which these words are sung is the theme for the variations in the first movement. Their texture gradually grows and becomes denser. Following on without a break is a slow, poetic movement of even rhythms and dynamics. The quick, lively finale begins giocoso e leggiero. But autumn is also a time of colour, and of death. At the end the music thus turns into a festive dance con grandezza. Maybe it bears the echo of a sarabande to the dying splendour of summer - or as T.S. Eliot put it: ”late roses filled with early snow”. Autumn Gardens was commissioned by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and premiered at the London Proms in July 1999.
