St John Passion The Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John 麥克米倫．詹姆士 聖約翰受難曲受難曲 總譜 博浩版

克米倫的首部《受難曲》創作於 2007 年，為男中音獨唱、小 "旁白 "合唱、大合唱和管弦樂隊配樂。該作品長達 87 分鐘，分為兩個部分，共有 10 個樂章。正如保羅-斯派塞 (Paul Spicer) 所評論的那樣："《聖約翰受難曲》的獨創性在於麥克米倫能夠以巴赫當年的方式將新舊音樂融合在一起。其中不乏華麗的複調音樂段落，而拉丁文段落與英文福音故事之間的穿插也是對文本的一種全新詮釋。在第七樂章（"耶穌和他的母親"）中，麥克米倫不僅引入了《聖母頌》的部分內容，還加入了自己的歌詞（"Lully, lulla, my dear darling"）。最後一個樂章是純管弦樂，是一種 "via doloroso "進行曲，在銅管和絃上奏出蘇格蘭人的哀歌。這裡的弦樂作品，包括哀傷的大提琴線條，讓人不禁聯想到 20 世紀早期的英國樂派。這應該是 21 世紀的戰爭安魂曲""

原文簡介:
Scored for baritone solo, small ‘narrator’ chorus, large chorus and orchestra, MacMillan’s first Passion setting was composed in 2007. Lasting 87 minutes the work is divided into two parts, with 10 movements overall. As Paul Spicer has commented, “The originality of the St John Passion lies in MacMillan’s ability to mix old with new, rather in the manner of Bach in his day. There are passages of sumptuous polyphony and there is a fresh look at the text where passages of Latin are interspersed with the Gospel story in English. In movement seven ('Jesus and his Mother'), MacMillan introduces not only part of the Stabat Mater but also his own words ('Lully, lulla, my dear darling'). The final movement, which is purely orchestral, is a kind of via doloroso march with a Scots lament over quite brass chords. The string writing here, with its elegiac cello lines, is deeply reminiscent of the early 20th-century English school. This should be the War Requiem of the 21st century.”
