String quartet no. 1 (2015) 弦樂四重奏 芬尼卡·蓋爾曼版

亞曆克斯-弗裡曼（Alex Freeman）從一位地質學家朋友給他看的一系列照片中找到了絃樂四重奏（2015）的最初靈感，這些照片拍攝的是岩層中的en échelon礦脈。這部單樂章作品的開頭是以撥弦單音點綴的開放式弦樂，讓人聯想到晶瑩剔透的東西，隨即又以類似快速卡恰（Caccia）的手法注入了跌宕起伏的抒情線條。作品的中段在鬆散的慢板素材中變得更加懸浮，這些素材基於一種抒情卡農（prolation canon）技法，由多層次的自由、富有表現力、抒情甚至是挽歌式的音樂組成，以不同的速度流動。當作品結束時，這些素材彙聚成一種有節奏的脈動靜止和一種近乎合唱般的陳述"

原文簡介:
Alex Freeman found initial inspiration for his string quartet (2015) in a series of photographs a geologist friend showed him of en échelon veins in rock formations. The open strings punctuated with pizzicato unisons that begin the single-movement work call to mind something crystalline and shimmering, which is immediately infused with tumbling lyrical lines in something of a rapid caccia technique throughout. The middle of the work becomes more suspended in slower material loosely based on a technique of prolation canon, comprises layers of free, expressive, lyrical, and even elegiac music moving at different speeds. As the work concludes, the materials converge in a rhythmically pulsating stasis and an almost chorale-like statement.
