Larghetto for Orchestra and other works 麥克米倫．詹姆士 管弦樂團 總譜 博浩版
這本出版物在同一封面下介紹了為各種管弦樂評分的各種短篇作品。《Larghetto for Orchestra》是麥克米倫為他著名的無伴奏混聲合唱團《Miserere》（2009年）所作的管弦樂作品（2017年），該作品用拉丁文譜寫了《詩篇》第51篇'神啊，求你憐憫我，照你的大憐憫'，這是葛列格里奧-阿萊格裡在17世紀著名的懺悔文本。Mémoire impériale》是為紀念愛丁堡大學音樂學院 1994 年成立一百周年而委託蘇格蘭作曲家創作的約翰-裡德（John Reid）將軍的進行曲《老高盧》變奏曲之一。裡德將軍（1721-1807 年）曾是愛丁堡大學的法律系學生，也是著名的長笛演奏家和英國軍隊進行曲作曲家，他要求每年舉辦一次音樂會，演奏他的一首或多首作品。2012 年為布裡頓交響樂團創作的《One》是一首單旋律作品，其中的單行線在樂器間傳遞，隨著它的出現和發展而呈現出不同的色彩。For Sonny》（2011 年，2013 年首演）和《Ein Lämplein verlosch》（2018 年，2019 年首演）原本是為絃樂四重奏而作的簡短私人紀念曲目，在此重新改編為弦樂管弦樂。近一個世紀前，最後 36 名居民從英倫三島最偏遠的聖基爾達群島撤離，該群島位於美麗而崎嶇的蘇格蘭西海岸，與世隔絕。時隔 86 年後，聖基爾達的音樂被重新發現，並由特雷弗-莫里森（Trevor Morrison）在蘇格蘭一家護理院錄製。這些歌曲由多位蘇格蘭作曲家 "重新演繹"，錄製成 Decca 唱片，縈繞在耳邊的旋律為人們提供了與所謂 "世界邊緣之島 "的最後聯繫。麥克米倫的《希爾塔》由絃樂隊現場演奏，並疊加了特雷弗-莫里森的錄音。作品的情感共鳴遠遠超過了其簡單的構思"

This publication presents under one cover various short works for sundry orchestral scorings.Larghetto for Orchestra is MacMillan’s orchestration (2017) of his celebrated Miserere for a cappella mixed choir (2009), a setting in Latin of Psalm 51, ‘Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy great mercy’, the penitential text famously set in the 17th century by Gregorio Allegri. The Larghetto orchestration was commissioned by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in celebration of Manfred Honeck’s 10th Anniversary as Music Director.Mémoire impériale is one of a number of variations on General John Reid’s march tune Old Gaul commissioned from Scottish composers to mark the centenary in 1994 of the Faculty of Music at Edinburgh University. The Faculty was established following a bequest by General Reid (1721–1807), a former law student at the University and a renowned flute player and composer of marches for the British Army, and he asked that an annual concert be organised at which one or more of his compositions be played.Composed in 2012 for the Britten Sinfonia, One is a monody in which a single line is passed around the instruments, painting it with different colours as it emerges and develops. Lasting only a few minutes, its singularity is maintained until blossoming in the last few bars.For Sonny (2011, orch 2013) and Ein Lämplein verlosch (2018, orch 2019) are short, private memorial tributes originally for string quartet and here rescored for string orchestra.Hirta was composed in 2016 as part of Decca’s The Lost Songs of St Kilda project. Nearly a century ago, the last 36 residents were evacuated from the most remote part of the British Isles, St Kilda, an isolated archipelago off the beautiful and rugged western coast of Scotland. After 86 years, the music of St Kilda was rediscovered, recorded in a Scottish care home by Trevor Morrison, an elderly man who had been taught piano by an inhabitant of St Kilda. The songs were ‘reimagined’ for the Decca album by various Scottish composers, the haunting melodies offering a last link to the so-called ‘island on the edge of the world’. MacMillan’s Hirta is performed live by string orchestra, overlaid by Trevor Morrison’s recording. The emotional resonance of the piece far outweighs the simplicity of its conception.
