Woman of the Apocalypse 麥克米倫．詹姆士 總譜 博浩版

作曲家表示，這部作品融合了交響詩和管弦樂協奏曲。標題指的是《啟示錄》中的一個人物，其確切身份有多種解釋，包括聖母瑪利亞和教會的母系象徵。樂譜的靈感來自歷代有關這一主題的一系列視覺藝術作品，主要是丟勒、魯本斯、多雷、布萊克、馬文科等人的作品。雖然是一個連續的樂章，但作品分為五個部分，每個部分的標題都與圖像和敘事的某些方面有關： 太陽下的女人》、《偉大的戰鬥》、《她被賦予雄鷹的翅膀》、《她被托起》、《加冕》"

原文簡介:
The composer states that this work is a fusion of symphonic poem and concerto for orchestra. The title refers to a figure in the Book of Revelation whose exact identity has been open to a number of interpretations, including the Virgin Mary and a matriarchal symbol for the Church. The score was inspired by a range of visual art works on the topic through the ages, principally those of Dürer, Rubens, Doré, Blake, Marvenko, amongst others. Although in one continuous movement the work is divided into five sections, each with a title referring to some aspect of the image and narrative: A woman clothed by the sun, The great battle, She is given the wings of a great eagle, She is taken up, Coronation.
