TurmMusik / Tower Music op. 85 for two clarinets, brass and strings with baritone solo 哥爾．亞力山大 銅管樂器弦樂器男中音 總譜 朔特版

亞歷山大-戈爾（Alexander Goehr）的這一重要作品反映了塔樓可以扮演的截然相反的角色。作曲家寫道：'塔體現了向上攀登的理念，既是精神層面的，也是物質層面的。戈爾使用弗朗茨-卡夫卡、17 世紀神秘主義者雅各-波姆和瑞士作家弗裡德里希-狄倫馬特的文字，探討了人類建造高塔以接近上帝的願望，而作品卻對這樣的任務所取得的成果感到絕望"

原文簡介:
This major work from Alexander Goehr reflects upon the diametrically opposing roles towers can have. The composer writes ‘Towers embody the idea of climbing upwards, in the spiritual as much as in the physical sense. Their destruction can be regarded as a punishment (or as a rescue from) man’s overwhelming arrogance.’Using texts by Franz Kafka, 17th century mystic Jacob Boehme and Swiss writer Friedrich Dürrenmatt, Goehr explores man’s desire to build towers to draw closer to God whilst the works feel nothing but despair at the fruitfulness of such a task.
