Durham Concerto for violin, cello, Northumbrian pipes, hammond organ and orchestra 協奏曲小提琴大提琴 管風琴管弦樂團 總譜 朔特版

音樂的總體靈感來源於對杜倫的印象，這種印象來自於兩三次短暫的訪問和對一段簡短歷史的閱讀--因此是一種 "心中的杜倫"，一種風格化的杜倫；可以說是'我的'杜倫，音樂中的杜倫。不過，這首曲子的靈感來源於大教堂。2001 年，我第一次來到杜倫，站在皇宮綠地上張大了嘴巴，然後默默地敬畏地走進了大教堂。大部分主題都來自於我第一次體驗這座非凡而又令人振奮的建築之後的那段日子。我感覺到，這些石頭和柱子本身就浸透了幾個世紀以來的祈禱，浸透了人們的喜悅、悲傷、絕望，甚至憤怒、感激和希望。當曲調、和絃和聲音開始在我的腦海中和手稿紙上組織起來時，我意識到我在寫一種 "特勒姆生活中的一天"，而大教堂將是它的開頭、中間和結尾。這幅作品由六幅'圖片'組成，分為三個部分--這個想像中的特勒姆市的上午、下午和晚上。喬恩-洛德，2017 年

原文簡介:
The general inspiration for the music was an idea of Durham, garnered from two or three short visits and a reading of a short history – so a sort of “Durham of the mind”, a stylized Durham; ‘my’ Durham, if you will, imagined into music. However, the defining inspiration for the piece was the Cathedral. My first visit to Durham in 2001 saw me standing open-mouthed on Palace Green, and then in silent awe as I walked into that formidable magnificence inside. Most of the themes came from the days immediately following my first experience of this extraordinary, inspiring building. The feeling that the very stones and pillars themselves are imbued with centuries of prayer, with people’s joy, grief, despair, even anger; gratitude and hope. As the tunes and chords and sounds started to organize themselves in my mind and onto manuscript paper, I realized that I was writing a sort of “day in the life of Durham”, and that the Cathedral would be its beginning, would be in its middle, and would be at its ending. The piece consists of six ‘pictures’ arranged into three parts – the morning, afternoon and evening of this imaginary Durham city. Jon Lord, 2017
