Tread Softly 弦樂四重奏

輕聲踏步》的靈感來自兩個截然不同的來源：中世紀早期西班牙的宗教音樂和黛比-洛克的藝術作品《重走你的路--布里斯托爾 I》。雖然相隔一千多年，但這兩個來源卻有一個共同的特點--在靜態的形式中蘊含著強烈的運動感。在早期的西班牙音樂中，這種運動感體現在延長旋律的使用上，而在洛克的作品中，這種運動感則通過中心圖像看似移動的網狀形式表現出來。輕聲踏上》通過使用一種主旋律姿態，自始至終緩慢但持續地轉換，探索了 "靜中有動 "的理念"

原文簡介:
The inspiration for Tread Softly came from two contrasting sources: the religious music of early medieval Spain, and Debbie Locke’s work of art ‘Retracing Your Steps - Bristol I’. Although over a thousand years apart, these two sources share a common feature - a powerful sense of movement enclosed within a static form. In early Spanish music this manifests in the use of extended melisma, and in Locke’s work it is depicted through the seemingly moving, web-like form of the central image. Tread Softly explores the idea of movement within stasis through the use of a main melodic gesture that transforms very slowly, but constantly, throughout.
